Well, I call myself a Solution Consultant, which means I can advise on, develop, and debug/maintain a business solution involving automated components (IT and others) as well as people. This is like a Technical Architect crossed with a Business Process Designer, in that I can swim in both worlds and freely across the boundary.
This role brings two advantages to my clients & prospects (a) I don't operate on "the answer is more code, what's the question?" (b) I can accept a brief phrased purely in business (automation) terms. Some of our US readers may recognise the term "crossover" which HR types there applied to people like me (and I suspect a lot of us contributors) though that term has now been retired due to adumbration by gender/role issues.

But selling that skill? It's really only something you can prove on the job and perhaps get head-hunted by a client. The bottom line, I suppose, is its hard-work like most industries. Because our work involves sitting on our ar5e5 means we have to try harder to demonstrate that isn't all we are.
