Anytime, friend. Perhaps you would be interested in "sales engineering", which deals more with the ingest of customer information and needs, and outputs a configuration (from you) that will solve technically whatever challenges the customers is having.

The knowledge base can be learned, but soft skills and truly psychopathic levels of manipulative ability can only be cultivated with intensive experience. It is basically a performance art at that point :)
