1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

My role as a sales corporate executive involves reaching out to businesses to pitch myself and Softcat, to understand what their IT procurement strategy is and how we can become their new suppliers within the IT procurement world. I deal with their inquiries and support them with IT requirements and more.
