I am offered a telesales position at one of the largest software companies. This would be an inside sales role where I would be expected to generate leads for the sales team. I don’t have significant experience in sales but this is the best opportunity I have found in over a year.
I also have another offer standing (luck has been on my side recently) with a very small company importing stuff. I have to make a decision real soon. I need all the help, especially people that have telesales experience. As someone who has been on the other side of the fence, I thought telesales would be an area I’d like to stay away from, but I was told that there would be no cold calls, and this position would be a sort of consultancy to existing customers.
Question: To be big fish in a small pond, or vice versa?
