Quick answer

What Is Outsourced Sales Representation in Bangladesh?

Outsourced sales representation is when a local firm acts as a foreign company’s sales team in Bangladesh, finding customers, arranging meetings and following up deals on the company’s behalf. The foreign company sets prices and signs contracts directly, so it can test and grow the Bangladesh market without opening a local office first.
