Cloud sales strategy? In cloud ...unless you are a director it's all about execution.

There are two major sales related positions
Sales
Pre sales engineer (called customer engineer or something architect)

You are either cold calling your contacts or answering technical questions / building proof of concepts.

Only you can answer whether your skills transfer over.
