Why Outsource Sales?
As an industrial manufacturer, there are plenty of great reasons why your company would benefit from outsourcing with Innovative Tool Sales.
The main benefit of outsourcing sales? You pay only for performance.
Growing an in-house sales team involves hundreds of thousands of dollars’ worth of recruitment, training and total compensation – with no guarantee of ever making a sale. When you outsource to ITS, you pay for results and only for results.
Another important benefit? We can extend your reach into territories and accounts you might have written off as impractical (or even impossible) to pursue. Our highly experienced Industrial Manufacturers’ Representatives (IMRs) have excellent relationships within their industry network – and with the companies you’re hoping to reach.
Innovative Tool Sales is already at the table, so you don’t have to spend months – or longer – trying to get your foot in the door.

At Innovative Tool Sales, we know customers often begin their journey with an advertisement or a piece of marketing content.
That’s why we complement our sales efforts with digital and print marketing tactics to promote your products to distributors and end users.
Once we’ve attracted prospects, our documented sales process adds structure and accountability to your sales activities, leading to a higher win rate, shorter sales cycles, and a big boost in your revenue.

Then we conduct continuous education, so we stay on top of new product offerings, changes in your market and other factors. Our training has one goal—to help us maximize our effectiveness when selling your products.
