The folks I know of that do this work for large companies that do a <i>lot</i> B2B or enterprise stuff. They effectively lucked into the positions. Most started as programmers but -at some point- got noticed by their managers as having really good people skills, -whether through a stint in regular sales, non-front-line tech support, or just interactions with coworkers in the office- but one went from pure sales to engineering sales because of his side projects and general technical aptitude.<p>Sadly, I forget what these positions are <i>actually</i> called. Best of luck in your hunt! I hope you find and fill such a position and are both happy and richly rewarded in it. :D
