Summary

The Technical Sales Consultant (TSC) plays a key role in managing customer inquiries through the Availability & Pricing (A&P) queue. This includes reviewing emailed requests, identifying the requested product—often using visual references—and reaching out directly to customers when additional details are needed. TSCs verify product availability, provide accurate pricing, and deliver clear, solution-focused communication, whether fulfilling the exact request or offering an in-stock alternative with a thoughtful explanation. Striving for first-touch resolution, TSCs build trust through personalized, high-touch service. They also support inbound phone traffic as needed, helping to maintain service levels across channels. This role demands strong product knowledge, sharp problem-solving skills, and the ability to communicate with clarity, empathy, and professionalism. Success also involves recognizing upselling opportunities that align with customer needs, while managing time and conversations effectively to ensure seamless customer experience.
