1) work with the sales team and their support groups (Solution Architects, product mgmt., pricing/finance, etc.) to understand the solution and assist the team in documenting the solution components and mapping them to the EIS contract

2) Moderate a twice-a-week stakeholder forum where the presales team explains their solution and "back office" stakeholders can determine the fashion in which it will be successfully ordered, billed, delivered, etc.

3) Ensure that the sales enablement team successfully documents and tracks the progress of any actions arising from the call to completion.

In addition on an ad hoc basis, work with product mgmt. teams who are developing new Verizon products and services, to identify any product "gaps" that are required to be closed before ensuring that they can be added to the EIS contract.
