What is an inside sales representative?

What is inside sales?

Inside sales, also referred to as “remote sales” or “virtual sales,” is defined as the act of finding, nurturing, and converting leads into paying customers remotely. It has become a common practice and sales model for sales representatives in business-to-business (B2B), technology, and business-to-consumer (B2C) transactions.

Inside sales, since they happen remotely, heavily use technology. Interactions and sales offers usually go through phone calls or email exchanges.

What is an inside sales representative?

An inside sales representative is the salesperson in charge of looking for, cultivating, and converting prospects to buying customers remotely. Since they conduct their responsibilities via phone or email, they need to be fully knowledgeable about the organization’s brand and its offered products and services. They will also need to be effective communicators, technology-savvy, and able to demonstrate exceptional product knowledge.

Inside sales vs. Outside sales

As mentioned above, inside sales is when a salesperson nurtures and converts leads to sales remotely. They’re most likely outsourced to a third-party provider. 

Outside sales, on the other hand, refers to the sales of the company’s products or services by salespeople who physically travel and go out in the field to meet prospects. They conduct sales face-to-face, and they offer hands-on explanations or demonstrations of the products offered, if necessary.
