If you're a sales rep who's accustomed to selling in-person, the switch to remote sales can be an adjustment. When you're selling in-person you depend on relationship building, physical engagement, establishing trust, and reading body language and other social cues. It's relational. Remote sales, however, is more transactional. Sales reps who sell remotely are very dependent on their superior product knowledge, time management, strategic prospecting, and virtual demonstration ability.
