Remote Outside Sales Jobs

Remote outside sales jobs might sound like a contradiction, but they're increasingly common. 'Remote outside sales' means you're based from home rather than a corporate office, but you travel within your territory to meet clients, conduct demos, and close deals in person. Your home is your base of operations.

This model gives you the best of both worlds: the autonomy and flexibility of working from home (handling admin, prospecting, and planning) combined with the relationship-building power of face-to-face selling for important meetings. Travel typically ranges from 25-60% depending on territory size and industry.

Outside sales compensation tends to be higher than inside sales for comparable roles because deals are typically larger and more complex. Territory managers: $80K-$120K base with $130K-$200K OTE. Regional sales managers: $100K-$150K base with $170K-$280K OTE. Enterprise field reps: $120K-$180K base with $250K-$400K+ OTE.

Industries that favor remote outside sales include medical devices, industrial equipment, commercial real estate, enterprise software, and professional services. If the purchase decision requires building trust through in-person relationships — but the administrative work doesn't require an office — you'll find these hybrid-remote field positions.
