I work in sales for a large software company. When selling software to large corporate customers, there are three main people involved - Account Managers, who manage relationships, Soultions people who delve into business problems and make suggestions and me, the technical sales person that knows how the software actually works.

I work in our Media and Entertainment division and fly between JFK-LAX at least once a week visiting customers and keeping the sales guys honest.

I should also add that hnechets has a valid point above in that having a job like this makes it extremely difficult to work a "regular" job. Occasionally, I'll have a full week at "home" and I'm at a loss as to what to do with my time. I'll never be able to work a 9-5 job after doing this.
