Inbound vs Outbound Sales in Building Materials

The building materials industry is years behind other industries. You can see it in the way it relies too much on outbound sales. When doing outbound, the salesperson will identify a prospect and then pursue them. In the worst case, it’s a cold call.

While outbound sales can be an effective way to grow, companies that have focused on growing their inbound leads are outperforming the ones that focus on outbound. Ideally, your company would have a balance of outbound and inbound sales opportunities.

I created this infographic to show you how inbound sales can help you be more successful and make better use of your salespeople’s time.
