New body to boost Ireland’s reputation as area sales hub

A new professional body has been established in a bid to cement Ireland as a premier location of choice for multinational companies establishing a regional sales hub for the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) region.

The Inside Sales Directors Network is a joint initiative between the Sales Institute of Ireland and the American Association of Inside Sales Professionals, aimed at boosting the ‘inside sales’, or remote selling profession, here.

“It’s a very big international business success story for Ireland, in particular Cork and Dublin, representing millions of euro in new income for the economy and thousands of jobs, yet it remains one of the most unheard of aspects in this country’s recovering economy,” according to the Sales Institute’s chairman, Conor Morris.
