1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:

My role has started of really well and I have enjoyed it so far, and I felt very welcome to the company when I started. in my day to day role I get to the office at around 8 am and get something for breakfast and then after I have eaten I would make it up to the the sales floor and go through my emails, and then begin with calling my customers and aiming to push a sale through.
