Should they keep their expensive sales duo: inside sales AND field sales? Or just go with inside sales? When you step out in the year 2015, and the landscape may look quite different. The following trends indicate that field sales teams are becoming extinct. Good question. Step into my time machine.
The idea of OutsideSales, which depended on business travel and in-person meetings, feels like a distant memory. Until COVID-19, more than half of sales — 52.8 percent — were made by OutsideSales teams. By contrast, there were only 32,049 results for job titles containing the term “OutsideSales.”.

Inside sales refers to any form of selling that isn’t done face-to-face. Unlike outsidesales (or field sales ) reps, inside sales reps connect with potential customers remotely through phone, email , and web conferencing. Among B2B companies, the use of inside sales reps has exploded in popularity.
I dug deeper and learned that the likelihood of an account being for an outsidesales role was in direct proportion to the number of years that our OMG Parter/Sales Expert has been with OMG.

Sales Cycle Length Seventy percent reported an average sales cycle length of sixty days or less for inside sales while fifty-four percent reported an average sales cycle length of ninety days or more for outsidesales.
In August of 2021, he became CEO and President after serving as an outsidesales consultant for the past three years. He started his sales career back in 1986 with Dun & Bradstreet and served in sales and sales leadership roles for 30 years, both domestically and internationally.
Another part of the process would be adopting the aforementioned inside-out sales function or another hybrid inside-outsidesales model. Finding an initial middle ground between field and outsidesales will be central to that process. A successful transition won't be abrupt.
It came from a blog you wrote back on July 29, 2015; it is titled “ Value” What the F%*K does that mean. I put your name in our business plan because I feel that if we spend any dollar on outsidesales support, which we will, it should be with your organization. I can’t thank you enough brother! I hope to hear from you soon!

Organizations were forced to change their sales process to accommodate their prospect’s new buying journey or suffer the consequences. Traditional sales organizations with outsidesales reps had to quickly pivot to new virtual processes. The new sales process required the salespeople to learn new skill sets.
Search engines like Wolfram Alpha become so smart they can fully educate the prospect so they go 100% of the way through the sales process before ever needing to talk to a human. It's unclear if ERP firms even understand ERP and it's 2015. Inside sales doesn't have to be a career path to outsidesales.
Is it used to see real-time information, track trends, or forecast future sales ? Will it be used by outsidesales teams who might need a mobile version, or an inside sales team that wants something more personalized and in-depth? How often will it be looked at and in what context?
