General Description:
Reporting to the VP Sales/Marketing EMEA, the work of the IT sales representative falls into three main areas of pre-sales, sales and post-sale support of NComputing hardware and software. The first area involves supporting pre-sales activities together with pre-sales engineers by giving detailed information about technical specifications and the ways in which they could meet a customer's needs. This often includes demonstrating those features before a sale. In some cases it also involves responding to tenders and then, if short listed, replying to a more detailed document. The actual sale involves negotiating a commercial agreement to the benefit of both the customer and NComputing. Technical support, which follows the sale is mainly handled by sales engineers, but will include managing the process of solving faults and problems, or maximizing the use of software features, as well as advising on appropriate user training.

- Meeting sales targets set by managers and contributing to team targets
- Networking with existing customers in order to maintain links and promote additional products and upgrades
