Why inside sales?
Inside sales is growing faster then field sales
More of the sales process is moving inside and field sales positions are going redundant
Inside sales international could be a stepping stone of international sales assignments
Professionals with inside sales SaaS experience are in demand
IT SaaS products is at a nascent stage but on a growth path
Inside sales is a process which is replacing field sales and the change is happening fast and furious. Inside sales is growing 300% faster than field sales. By 2020 70% of all tech will be sold by Inside Sales teams. Huge projections, and big enough not to ignore.
