- Complete cross-training on LSDA products and technical applications to increase support for IDN divisions and customers.
- Support inventory management, including identifying slow-moving or excess inventory and coordinating actions to improve inventory performance.
- Coordinate defective-product reporting, supplier credits, warranty documentation, and related processes.
- Assist with LSDA training programs by supporting the development of product training materials for inside and outside sales teams.
- Coordinate marketing and sales-support activities, including product announcements, catalogs, sell sheets, promotional materials, new-product launches, website or product content, and other sales-enablement materials.

- Assist with trade shows, sales meetings, product presentations, and other promotional activities as needed.
- Track projects and action items to ensure commitments to suppliers, divisions, and customers are completed on time.
