One of most important things companies did last year was understand that generic doesn’t work anymore. They’ve had major success taking Inside Sales roles down the path of specialization. Quite a number of organizations, regardless of size, have segmented Inside Sales roles based on very specific activities and objectives. For example, many have transitioned to hunter and farmer roles or separated lead generation & qualification from quota carrying responsibilities. 2010 was the year of specialization. It makes sense - and it’s working.
