Discounting the roadshows, will it be a job based mainly in the office or heading out to meet prospects?

My current sales job requires me to head out and this is something i enjoy. I cannot sit at the desk the whole day and just do coldcalling. they have telemarketers for that.

haha
It's a mix of telemarketing and site visits. Usually you need to cold call/email or attend those related networking events to first know the hr industry. Then make appt & go down visit them & make the sales pitch for the salary account, some credit card or insurance as add ons.

My exp is that although technically this job is B2B, you tend to end up selling to a bunch of very low level hr officers. Truth is those hr specialist/directors wont bother to entertain you for such things except for a 3min introduction. So you must be comfortable with doing sales similar to consumer/retail type to uncles & aunties.
