• Develop and maintain an in‑depth understanding of the company's technical products and services.
• Respond to technical and application questions with clear, accurate guidancePropose, design, and present technical solutions that meet both business and technical solutions that meet both business and technical requirements.

Relationship Building

• Establish and maintain strong working relationships with key customer stakeholders, including engineers, technical decision‑makers, and project managers.
• Collaborate with the sales team to create compelling sales proposals, technical documentation, and quotations that accurately represent the solution, pricing, and implementation timeline.

Sales Support and Strategy

• Partner closely with account managers to understand customer needs, develop technical sales strategies, and support opportunities throughout the sales cycle.
• Gather and analyze customer pain points, process challenges, and application requirements to recommend effective solutions.
• Maintain a well‑organized sales pipeline, documenting leads, opportunities, and follow‑up activities in the CRM.
