  My role entails, ensuring that staff are fully aware of the capabilities of Sonos (Multiroom music system), and also how best to sell it to customers. I also install and modify all the relevant POS and marketing material within the store. I organise and execute training sessions and events in order to promote Sonos. A small part of my role is assisting retailers and Custom Installers with marketing and other activities to promote Sonos and their business.
