- Conduct virtual product demonstrations and explain complex technical configurations in simple, value-driven business terms.

- Coordinate with internal technical pre-sales teams and vendors (e.g., Cisco, Dell, HP, Lenovo) to secure pricing, check stock availability, and configure accurate technical specifications.
