Sales Force concept 12:In designing a sales force, the company must develop sales force objectives and strategy.
• Sales reps need to know how to diagnose a customer’s problem and propose a solution that can help improve the company’s profitability.– Example: Sales reps to spend 80% of the time with current customers and
20% with prospects• Companies must deploy sales forces strategically so they call
on the right customers at the right time in the right way.• Once the company chooses its strategy, it can use a direct or
indirect sales force.– Direct sales force: consists of full- or part-time employees who work
exclusively for the company– Indirect sales force: consists of manufacturers’ reps, sales agents, brokers,
who earn a commission based on sales.

Sales Force concept 13:In designing a sales force, the company must develop sales force structure

engineers, service personnel assigned to major accounts– (2) A geographic sales force calling on thousands of customers in

distributors; and – (4) An inside sales force doing telemarketing and taking orders

Sales Force concept 14:In designing a sales force, the company must develop sales force size
• Sales reps are one of the company’s most productive and expensive assets.
• Increasing their number increases both sales and costs. • Once the company establishes the number of customers it
wants to reach, it can use a workload approach to establish sales force size. This method has five steps:1. Group customers into size classes according to annual sales volume.
2. Establish desirable call frequencies (number of calls on an account per year) for each customer class.
3. Multiply the number of accounts in each size class by the corresponding call frequency to arrive at the total workload for the country, in sales calls per year.
4. Determine the average number of calls a sales rep can make per year.
5. Divide the total annual calls required by the average annual calls made by a sales representative to arrive at the number of sales representatives needed.

Sales Force concept 15:In designing a sales force, the company must develop sales force compensation
• To attract top-quality reps, the company must develop an attractive compensation package.
• Sales reps want income regularity, extra reward for above-average performance, and fair pay for experience and longevity.
• Four components of sales force compensation:– (1) Fixed amount: a salary, satisfies the need for income stability. – (2) Variable amount: whether commissions, bonus, or profit sharing,
serves to stimulate and reward effort. – (3) Expense allowances: enable sales reps to meet the expenses of
travel and entertaining. – (4) Benefits: such as paid vacations, sickness or accident benefits,
pensions, and life insurance, provide security and job satisfaction.

answers his own objection, denies the validity of the objection, or turns it into a reason for buying.
• Step 5: Closing– Closing signs from the buyer: physical actions, statements or comments,
and questions– Reps can ask for the order, recapitulate the points of agreement, offer to
help write up the order, ask whether the buyer wants A or B, get the buyer to make minor choices such as color or size, or indicate what the buyer will lose by not placing the order now.
• Step 6: Follow-up and maintenance– Necessary to ensure customer satisfaction and repeat business– Company seeks a long- term-supplier-customer relationship
