Introduction Internal sales support is like a Formula 1 Race. You have your driver (External Sales Representative) who is on the race track. This driver has the support of his Pit Crew (Internal Sales support). The Pit Crew is constantly in contact with the driver, to make him aware of what is happening on the track, and update him with status. They inform him, when it is time to come into the Pits to change tyres. The Pit Crew make sure they are prepared for the Driver (Tyres, Spares). Once the Driver stops at the Pits, the Pit Crew change the tyres, and make sure the car is in order to continue the race. The focus of the Pit Crew is to act and perform as quick as possible to keep the Driver in his current position. When the driver is delayed and drops in passion, the whole team feels it, at the same time when the Driver stands on the Podium with his winning trophies, it is not only the Driver who is the Winner but the whole team.
