outside sales

Client-site revenue work

Outside sales refers to selling that happens in person, away from the office—visiting clients at their locations, meeting prospects face-to-face, traveling to close deals.

It contrasts with inside sales, where representatives work from a central location by phone or computer.

She moved from inside sales to outside sales and now spends half her time on the road.
