  1. What is Inside Sales? Strategies, Benefits & Process If your business depends on phone calls, WhatsApp follow-ups and virtual meetings to close deals, you’re already doing inside sales—even if you don’t call it that. This blog breaks down what inside sales really means for Indian SMBs, why it’s growing fast in India and how you can build an inside sales system that delivers results. What is inside sales?
