Hiring and developing an in-house Sales Team involves considerable time, training and expense. Often organizations will hold on to underperforming sales people because of the considerable investment made in the onboarding, training and development of the sales person. It makes sense to outsource your sales team and here are 5 obvious benefits:

1. Lower Overheads
Outsourced teams generally do not require you to provide equipment, i.e. phones, computers, office space and other related items.

2. Access to a Multi-faceted Team
In most cases, you can get access to a whole team of multi-faceted sales people for the cost of one in-house sales person with far less management time.

3. Eliminate Payroll and Related Costs
When you outsource you only pay for services rendered rather than the normal costs of payroll, entitlements, travel etc.

4. Benefit from long established Relationships, Networks and Channels
An outsourced team will bring a diverse and substantial number of prospects and contacts that you can leverage to bring faster results, than the contacts of a single salesperson or small in-house team.

5. Increase your Territory
An outsourced Sales Team will enable your organization to expand its reach and coverage more substantially, than if it used a small in house team.
