The document proposes redesigning the traditional sales function by challenging two assumptions: that sales is an outside activity and an individual pursuit. It suggests sales is primarily an inside function and team endeavor. To illustrate, it presents a thought experiment where various roles like CSR, analysts and specialists work together as a sales team from inside the company. It acknowledges common concerns about changing compensation, relationships and customer contacts but argues this new model could work in reality.
