WHAT IS REMOTE SALES?
You sell high-ticket products and services for companies as their remote sales representative.
WHAT YOU DO:
Work for a company that sells high-ticket products/services ($3,000-$50,000+)
Take calls with potential customers who are interested in buying
Present the product, answer questions, and close the sale
Earn commission when people buy (typically $1,000-$10,000+ per sale)
Work entirely from home using your computer and phone
EXAMPLE:
You work for a business coaching company. Someone fills out a form on their website interested in their $15,000 coaching program and they schedule a call with you on your calendar. 
On that call you get to explain the program, answer their questions, and help them decide to enroll. 
You're the person who turns interested prospects into paying customers for companies that sell high-value solutions.
