In summary, "Let me know if I can help" is a phrase commonly used to offer assistance or support to someone. The best way to respond to this phrase is by thanking the person for their offer and letting them know if there is anything specific they can help with. This phrase is usually a sincere offer, but it's always important to consider the tone and context in which it is said. It can be used in various situations, such as when someone is struggling with a task, dealing with a problem, or going through a difficult time. In a professional setting, it can be used to offer help or support to a colleague, client, or customer.

Thanks Mike. When I was soul searching about my EE career a decade ago (burned out from long hours at a startup company), I considered sales in a different field because of good commissions if you can connect with the customer base well. I didn't consider large systems sales like this though, thanks for the idea.
