Build On Your Expertise – Introducing the Diploma in Inside Sales

Do you work in Sales? Or maybe you have a business where face to face selling is a big part? Undoubtedly you’ve probably been affected by the craziness that Covid19 had thrown at us.

Due to the current health crisis, there has and will continue to be major ramifications across so many areas of life. Socially and economically, the full extent of the fallout is not known. And of course sales will be heavily impacted – whatever the outcome in the long-term.

The reality is face to face sales will decrease in light of the current climate. Through social distancing and other measures, the traditional sales model is no longer applicable (for the time-being).

However in the meantime, you still have a business or job to look after. In these difficult dark days, we must adapt. We must evolve. The obvious answer to this problem both in the short and long term is Inside Sales.

What is Inside Sales?

Inside Sales is essentially selling done remotely. Typically this is through email, phone calls or any other medium online. The rise of Inside sales has naturally coincided with the technological revolution of the internet era.

It is the dominant sales model for reps in B2B, technology, SaaS and a variety of B2C Industries involving high touch transactions.
