In my job hunt I've come across lots of jobs about sales. They use lots of terms I don't know, like inside sales, outside sales and b to b. I'm a little interested in a sales job, but have no idea what these words mean. Can anyone clarify for me? Maybe even give me the inside scoop about what I'd be getting into if I took a sales job?
A question for those of you in sales. . .

Inside sales- most likely means you are pounding the telephone dialing for dollars as they say, simply you are working in an office and typically not meeting the clients F2F (face to face)
Outside Sales- means you are meeting the clients/ prospects face to face either by a preset appointment or you are dropping by unannounced hoping the DM (decision maker) is there and has time to talk
There are some older threads either in this section or in the tips section regarding sales, if you haven't already try some searches

Pls forget about all the jargon. And get yourself a sales book, it only cost a few bucks, not only you understand the jargon, plus you get a pretty much an idea what a sales job entitle. Dont worry what book you pick up, because all sales go through the same process,no matter what product you sell, you go through the same process.

$500 to $10,000 a month, and some six digits a month of pure profit. Sales on eBay. Idea is simple, get merchandise, sell it. Benefits are great, you don't have to be at work from 9 to 5, plus the more you work the more you make.
Idea is to get merchandise, can do it from U.S. can do it from China, or any other country. The only problem is that if item is unbranded, if customs open it, they will confiscate it.
90% of everything you see on eBay comes from China?

Pick up a social psych book. Nothing better than understanding how people work.
