Occupation

Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/occupations/outside-sales-representative

An Outside Sales Representative travels to meet prospects and clients in person, building relationships within an assigned territory to generate and close new business. Common in industrial, medical device, and B2B distribution industries, this role depends heavily on cold calling and prospecting to fill the pipeline, then CRM software like Salesforce to manage follow-ups and forecasts. Successful reps are natural relationship-builders with sharp negotiation skills who can manage a territory independently while meeting quota.
