Career Option in Institutional Sales

Institutional Sales is similar to corporate sales, and involves B2B sales, or selling products / services / solutions to other organizations.

For example, selling one AC to a customer for his personal use is B2C selling, whereas in institutional sales, bulk quantities, say 300-1000 Acs, to a hotel is B2B selling. Institutional Sale does not involve the channel of dealers/distributors, it’s direct sales from company to company.
