Sign into your account3 must-ask questions when hiring an inside sales agent
June 26 2017
Telemarketers. Virtual assistants. Lead scrubbers. There are many terms used to describe "inside sales agents," an industry role that has taken off over the last few years. But few of these descriptors fully encapsulate the role of an inside sales agent (ISA), which is to:
- Respond to inbound calls or online leads promptly — before they move on to another agent or real estate source
- Talk with prospects and leads to determine their likelihood of buying and selling
- Nurture these contacts until they are ready to talk directly with an agent
- Track engagement and develop a deep relationship so the transition from ISA to agent is smooth, personal and conflict-free
