As a sales Man Do you prefer to working indoor or outdoor? and why ?

This depends on the type of commodity to be sold, there are kinds of goods can not be sold abroad, but I better sales abroad as it allows me to communicate with a large number of different people, different cultures and customs

It depends on Your independence or your interdependence and would you rather meet new people every day. These are just a couple of the factors you should consider when choosing between inside and outside sales. Before you can make a decision, you'll want to get a handle on the typical daily routines of both positions. First : Outside Sales -A job in outside sales generally suits self-starters. If you work better independently than with a set schedule and team, this may be the field for you. -Also be aware that as an outside salesperson: You Manage Your Own Schedule: You're responsible for making and keeping your appointments. You're also responsible for reminding your client to meet with you. One delayed or canceled appointment can offset your entire day, as you must often travel to meet with your customer. Your Workplace Changes Daily: Regardless of the weather, traffic delays or car troubles, you must be resourceful, motivated and dedicated enough to travel to your appointments. You should also be able to adapt to new environments and people easily. Your Appearance Counts: Some days you may not be in the mood to greet new faces. But for those working in outside sales, you must always look -- and be -- ready to schmooze no matter how you feel. You Are Your Own Daily Supervisor: No matter who your boss is, you need to look after yourself to ensure you stay focused. Outside-sales jobs may be more prone to distractions than inside-sales jobs, because you don't have anyone looking over your shoulder. Second: Inside Sales If you prefer working a set amount of hours per day in an office, you may be better suited for inside sales. Just remember that as an inside salesperson: You need to be on-call. Your Product Is Your Word: You should also be able to obtain new business on cold calls, without having a physical prototype of the product you're selling, where applicable, or a visual to further explain the product. You need to be articulate on the phone and be able to give the customer a good enough description of the product to gain his business. You Work in an Office: Your workplace is a definitive place you visit daily; you don't have to travel to meet with clients. Working in an office may entail office politics and collaborations with peers. Third : The Tools of Both Trades Whether you choose inside sales or outside sales, the following tips will help you get your clients' business: Know your product well. Keep learning by attending conferences and studying your trade. Be an ethical salesperson, and work to keep your customers loyal. Hone your listening skills. Keep a log of common customer questions and concerns, and develop solutions for these so you may respond to your customers on cue. Learn how to manage your time effectively. Learn from your peers and take advantage of networking opportunities.

It depends on the products you are selling and also regarding your experience. Many people like to manage them self putting there schedule and having there appointment with clients and also they prefer to do this job accordingly with self motivated this kind should accommodated as salesman outdoor they will do great job. Another kind of people who prefer to work with team work and receiving clients randomly have good experience on customer service and also always be ready for any kind of customer ,knowing have to sell and offer the products to customers , having the experience also to handle more than customer on same time those kind of salesman should be salesman indoor. For my self I prefer to be indoor managing the store or the show room and receiving the customers any kind of customer and when I receive the customer that is my job now to offer and sell the product with high customer service.

Well, it all depends on the product/services on offer. If the type of sales demands outdoor activity, no matter what you have to do that so as to get the best results and the same applies for indoor activities as well.

The basic difference is that whether the business requires you reaching the customers or the customer reaching you and how the same goal is achieved.

I agree with Mrs GHADA EWEDA 

in door   with full Information & source's  and spoliations

Both because each one of the advantages of the tasks and challenges are different from each other as well as to increase the salaries, bonuses

 I prefer both; on certain days I will be working outdoor when dealing with clients or suppliers, and on other days I will be indoor dealing with the load of paperwork :)

I prefer both, if you are skillful you can score in both...

Outdoor will keep you contact many customers in different place and different industries and it will improve your soft skills. Indoor is more convertible but limit to less number of customers

Thanks

As my colleagues answers it depend on many circumstances , but as for me I like them both , because

Sales job is same everywhere ,But , Indoor sales less challenging .
