Sales Consultant
Även känt som: Solution Consultant · Commercial Consultant
Sells services or software by analysing the customer's situation and building a tailored proposal together with internal specialists.
The sales consultant works in sales processes where the solution only takes shape during the process and where several disciplines contribute to the proposal. Unlike a retail sales advisor, this role does not sell an existing product from stock but a service still to be designed. Selection looks too much at closing technique and too little at the ability to sharpen the customer problem, so proposals end up compared on price instead of value.
