Inside Sales

Consultant

People use inside sales consultants for two reasons: expertise and bandwidth. If you find yourself running short of one or both with your sales organization, then turn to a Factor 8 virtual sales advisor.

Ever wish you had an expert on demand to help build that new comp system? Define the custom sales process? Fix new hire training? Help define the competencies and create a recruiting process? Look, you can’t run the business, implement the fixes, AND go buy the balloons with the corporate card for floor contest.

We’ve been there, done that.

Sometimes sales leaders lack bandwidth. Sometimes we have gaps in expertise. Whichever you’re short of, we’ve got you covered. Factor 8’s inside sales consultants bring in real-world advice and tactical solutions from our experience with thousands of virtual sales floors around the world.

Also known as inside sales, virtual sales means your representatives don’t visit with prospects face-to-face the way traditional interactions happen. Instead, they use technology such as email, phone calls, and online chat to connect with leads. They bring the same level of familiarity with product lines and services but deliver it in a different format. This means your office doesn’t need to spend money on travel expenses and other associated costs. Although very similar to the traditional methods in a number of ways, inside sales requires a slightly different skillset in addition to the fundamentals, and our inside sales consultants have the expertise to help you.

Our virtual sales consultants are ready to roll up their sleeves and help you build, fix, or implement:

  • Pipeline processes
  • Sales qualification systems
  • Compensation plans
  • Hiring profiles
  • Full-scale onboarding programs
  • Culture shifts
  • Plus, too many more to list

Whatever you’re missing, we’ve done it somewhere.
