What is Inside Sales?

Sales jobs are often broadly grouped into 2 categories; inside sales and outside sales. Outside, or field sales jobs. typically involve meeting and making a sales presentation to a customer face-to-face at a location other than the sales rep’s main office. This could be at the customer’s office, their home, an event, etc.

In contrast, an inside sales job typically involves a rep contacting customers from the rep’s man place of business, either via phone, video, or a live showroom.
