Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
I am a Corporate Sales Apprentice at Softcat, where I support customers with IT procurement and day‑to‑day account management. My role involves communicating with customers to understand their requirements, producing quotes, managing renewals, and providing updates on orders and deliveries.
I work closely with internal teams and specialist vendors to ensure customers receive the right solutions, while also handling administrative tasks such as updating CRM records and supporting the ordering process. Alongside this, I regularly complete training and vendor sessions to develop my technical knowledge and sales skills.
