Inbound Sales
A sales methodology where representatives engage with prospects who have already shown interest through content, forms, or other inbound channels.
Definition
Inbound sales focuses on prospects who come to you—through content marketing, SEO, referrals, or other inbound channels. These leads have self-selected interest, making them warmer than outbound targets. Inbound sales reps focus on understanding needs and guiding buyers rather than creating initial interest.
Why It Matters
Inbound leads typically have higher conversion rates because prospects are already interested and researching. Inbound sales is more efficient but depends on effective marketing to drive traffic. Most companies use a combination of inbound and outbound strategies.
Examples
- Prospect downloads whitepaper and requests demo
- Visitor from blog post fills out contact form
- Lead from webinar registration schedules call
