Many sales teams utilize full-cycle inside sales reps who are responsible for the entire customer cycle from prospecting to close to renewal. This type of sales structure has its pros and cons.
On the pro side, sales reps have complete control of their own destiny. They don’t have to worry about a business development rep (BDR) scheduling unqualified appointments or a customer success manager losing a big customer.

Prospecting is often one area that gets neglected. Full-cycle inside sales reps have to keep their funnel full as they're looking for the next big opportunity. Time management is a required skill for inside sales reps. Managers should look for good time management skills when hiring new reps and they need to be aware of lagging sales productivity or bad habits. Spotting these trends early gives managers the chance to provide coaching and training before revenue goals are at risk.
