		<description>I completely agree with you.  What you're discussing here is a significant problem and an inhibitor to sales effectiveness for many companies--SE's are just an afterthought.  

We've worked with companies that consider and treat SE's as a critical component of sales success and, as a result, they are trained, have a strategic role in sales campaigns and have the respect they deserve from the rest of the organization.  For those companies there is a direct connection between the inclusion of SE's into the mainstream sales team/approach and win rates.</description>
