Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

EOutside selling typically involves direct interaction with clients or potential clients outside of a traditional retail environment. Choice A does not fit this definition because it describes a scenario where sales occur within a store, which is considered inside selling. Choice E involves a salesperson proposing a business idea or product directly to a company, which is a form of outside selling. However, the question asks for activities that do not include outside selling, making E an incorrect interpretation of the question's intent. The correct interpretation should focus on identifying scenarios that do not involve outside selling, making A the correct choice as it involves inside selling. The error in the explanation for E is acknowledged; it was mistakenly included as a correct choice due to a misinterpretation of the question's intent.
