What Nobody Tells You About Moving Into Tech Leadership | Malcolm Murphy
Q: Talk to me about hiring.
Malcolm emphasizes owning the end-to-end hiring process, continually building a bench, and ensuring transparency about what the role offers to candidates; effective hiring hinges on both selecting the right people and presenting a compelling value proposition.
Business Storytelling For Sales Engineers | Tim Chinchen

Begin by recording daily small observations, reflect later to craft potential stories, and develop a habit of selecting one to three polished anecdotes tailored to specific business outcomes.
Business Storytelling For Sales Engineers | Tim Chinchen
Q: When is it best not to use stories?
Use stories sparingly when you need quick, direct statements and to-the-point outcomes; avoid lengthy narratives that risk losing the audience in half-complete stories.
Business Storytelling For Sales Engineers | Tim Chinchen
Q: How should a tech professional prepare stories for meetings or demos?
Build a personal library of short, relevant stories tied to outcomes (money saved/earned, risk reduced), structure them in a simple three-act format, and practice delivering them succinctly to fit the audience and time constraints.
Business Storytelling For Sales Engineers | Tim Chinchen
Q: What does storytelling mean in the context of technical sales?
Storytelling is about sharing short, meaningful anecdotes from real experiences that illustrate outcomes, not just listing features. It should engage both the rational and emotional parts of the brain to help audiences remember and act on the message.
