Can someone share what the difference is between an Oracle sales consultant vs solutions consultant?

I work for Oracle as as Sales Consultant, my actual title HR title is Sr. Internet Sales Consultant, the "internet" means that I'm an inside sales consultant and not a field sales consultant (strange I know). When communicating with customers I replace "Sales" with "Solutions" so my title in my email signature with customers will be "Sr. Solutions Consultant or Sr. Solutions Engineer" as Sales is a bad word to a lot of potential clients. AFAIK their are no actual Solutions Consultants at Oracle as far as HR in concerned, it's just a self given title when communicating to customers to soften up customers to being willing to communicate more with the Sales Consultant about things they might not with someone with "Sales" in their title.
Go to linked in find one of each and compare resumes
These terms are used interchangeably in the industry. They are all similar to a Sales Engineer, which is the person that gathers information to put together and deliver a targeted demo of a product to a client, pre-sales.
Sales = you sell to clients/customers (can be a product or consulting services)
Solutions = you design/develop/deliver technical solutions for clients
