What’s the difference between a telemarketing position and a sales position?

Mr. Main Event asked:


I used to be in sales, and I know the gig pretty well. My question is: Is sales the same as telemarketing?

I know that sales is high-pressure and intensive because you have to meet a quota every single quarter (and most of your money is made in commissions). If you don’t meet the quota for a few consecutive quarters, then you’ll be let go. Is telemarketing the same? Are there quotas involved with telemarketing? Will you be let go if you don’t meet those quotas? How is most of your money made: base salary or commissions?

Please let me know.
Thank you.
