A Solution Advisor provides deal support by participating in discovery sessions, executive meetings and presentations and delivers software demonstrations that help the customer understand SAP’s unique value proposition. In addition to deal support, the Solution Advisor participates in marketing events to generate demand, leads Design Thinking sessions, and collaborates with the broader sales team to identify whitespace opportunities at existing accounts.
