3. Inside Sales Representative – Average Yearly Salary: $46,290
Inside sales is a recently emerged field that’s rapidly growing. Put simply, it consists of selling people things via email and over the phone – work uniquely suited to telecommuting – but it’s distinctly different from telemarketing. A telemarketer follows a simple script and may not have any real sales experience of their own. A sales rep is the kind of person who writes those scripts: a highly skilled professional who is an expert in the craft of research, networking and gradual persuasion.
What you’ll need: Most companies requires sales reps to have a bachelor’s degree in a field like media or communication, though you can also enter the field from a right angle, if your degree or experience grant you unique expertise about a particular product.
