Inside Sales....worth it?

Congrats on your future as a telemarketer!

"Yelll-oh... Oilfield Guy. What can I do fer ya?"

"Hi this is celltech with Smaller Oilfield Supply Co. Do you have minute to discuss our product line?"

forgot the "subtle 'i got a call back from a job application' bragging thread"

I'm in this position. I find every day to be difficult to come to work. We are a small office (two outside sales, one inside sales, and one sales support).

I know if I put in my time and grind I can move into outside sales. I get aggravated sitting in my office and hearing the two outside guys complain about their bonuses and company paid vehicles.

I don’t know what you mean by asking if it’s worth it?

Is it worth giving up a 12 year career as an NFL quarterback or as a touring musician that sells out stadiums? NO

Is it more interesting than selling payroll software? I would think so.

I guess it all depends on what your options are.

your fresh out of school and want a future In sales you generally have to start inside. If you bust your arse and don't mind getting paid dirt for a few years it can be worth it

Like this guy:

You will do the outside sales guy’s bitch work. While he makes the money and takes the clients to twin peaks then goes home early.
Did I mention take the outside gig or nothing at all?

protip #1, don't listen to 99.9% of the posts when you create a topic on TD

protip #2 you have to start somewhere, it could be worse. It would probably be easy, and you don't have to cold call all the time like you think. I'm sure most of their sales are already generated and you'll be creating quotes, helping customers, etc.
