Sales outsourcing is the practice of hiring an external organization to sell for a company as a virtual extension of their own sales force. Outsourced sales firms hold quotas, report all results, and are accountable just as the client's internal divisions would be. The benefits are in yielding better results that are scalable and predictable as well as immediate extension of the company's sales reach. Sales outsourcing firms sell as "branded" representatives of their clients, usually indistinguishable from the company's own sales reps from the customer's view. This differs from value added resellers, contract sales, or 1099 sales forces in that the benefits and protections of an internal sales force are kept while getting the strengths of an external channel.

Sales Partnerships, a company with national offices headquartered in Colorado was one of the two sales outsourcers that made the finals of this year's Stevie awards. Stevie awards nominees this year included: DHL, First Data, Chevron Phillips, Marriott International, Northwest Airlines, McGraw Hill, Best Buy, Walt Disney World, Yellow Book, Boston Scientific, Administaff, Schering Plough, ReMax, Mead Westvaco, Kaiser Companies, CSX Transportation, International Paper, FedEx Services, and Dow Jones.

Fred Kessler, CEO of SPI, "This year has really put the exclamation point on the importance of dedicated branded representation - the sales outsourcing model. When the industry was first being formed in the mid-90's, SPI was one of only a handful of firms looking to convince the market that there were options other than internal sales, off-shoring, and value added resale. Today there are more than 40 companies generating more than $10B in annual revenue for their clients. The growth rate of our industry is in the top five in North America, SPI leading that pack. The types of companies using sales outsourcing has moved as well. The old paradigm of the start-up company using sales outsourcing is still there but it is partnered with companies ranging from AT&T, Google, Intel, Level 3 Communications, Microsoft, RH Donnelley, Yahoo, Verizon, John Deere, Novartis, to ADP all outsourcing some elements of their sales programs"
