"I currently work for a consulting firm that offers business and technology solutions. I support out sales team from time to time when a complex solution is required, and they need additional support working with the client. Once a contract is signed and a new program of work is in flight, I work with the senior clients on the contract on a regular basis. I uncover new opportunities in these meetings all the time and I work to help scope them out and provide estimates. I also reach back out after the completion of our contract to ensure my clients are satisfied and determine if they have any additional needs."
