A UNI Field Sales Representative calls or meets with potential UNI customers and helps sell and manage services that their customers have purchased. They currently have a laptop where they review prospects and do cold calls, do geopoint for mapping and pull up geopoints through the SFDC1 application on their phones. We want to move everyone to tablets and provide more Sales features
