Inside Sales

Creating a sustainable sales pipeline

When deployed correctly, Inside Sales is a highly effective and transparent method for generating new business opportunities. However, success requires specialised skills to navigate gate keepers and open doors coupled with a personality that thrives on engagement. In addition, a strong business knowledge and understanding of the sales qualification process are essential to take the engagement forward.

SMA’s dedicated team of Inside Sales experts help firms develop strong and well-qualified pipelines. They have had previous front-line careers within banking, buy-side firms, insurance firms and technology vendors. As Inside Sales professionals, they have exceptional communication skills.

Leveraging their long experience from the industry, the SMA Inside Sales consultants are comfortable talking about hot topics impacting the business and dive into complex issues. They uncover problems, needs, on-going initiatives and priorities, current technical landscape, budgets, decision makers, timelines and much more.
