Time to time, I happen to talk to vendors who deal with process components such as pumps/compressors & instruments, and I am surprised to see so many "desis" in that field.
Most of the time, I happen to send an RFQ to some Canadian (read white) guy, but I always end up talking with an Indian guy (Gujarati in many cases).
It is good to see that people immigrating from India do end-up getting a job in technical field (may not be their exact line of expertise) rather than stuck with factory jobs

One should be proud enough that desis are slowly but steadily taking up the hot seats competing with the so called white guys .

Believe it or not, more than 95% of Outside Sales guys I have dealt with happens to be white guys. I believe they are good at dealing with customers. Having Canadian accent does has its advantage
So in case you did not know, outside sales guy come to your company describing what products their company sells.
When we send RFQ, there are normally technical details. You do not need to have excellent customer skills to figure out, what size of compressor you need to cool 1 ton of water. There is where the inside sales guy come into the picture.
So they are supplements of each other.

I do not know about pay, but I am talking about engineering sales. It requires a bachelor's degree in engineering, and familiarity designing, troubleshooting or marketing items as pumps/compresors/chillers/instruments etc. etc.
