“Sales management: The attainments of sales force goals in an effective and efficient manner through planning, staffing, training, directing, and evaluating organizational resources.”– Charles M. Futrell, Fundamentals of Selling
Theories of SellingSelling is considered an art by some and a science by others and has produced two contrasting approaches to the theory of selling.
1) Seller Oriented ( AIDAS & Right Set of Circumstances)
2) Buyer Oriented ( Buying Formula & Behavioral Equation)
“AIDAS” Theory of Selling
The theory - popularly known as the AIDAS theory, after initials of the five words express it . Attention, Interest, Desire, Action and Satisfaction).
“Right set of circumstances” Theory of Selling
It is also called the “situation-response” theory.
The major emphasis of the theory is that a particular circumstance prevailing in a given selling situation will cause the prospect to respond in a predictable way.
“Buying Formula” Theory of SellingThe theory is based on the fact that there
is a need or a problem for which a solution must be found which would lead to purchase decision, as shown below:
Behavioral Equation” Theory of SellingFour essential elements of this model are –Drive – a strong internal stimulus that impel
the buyer’s response- Innate drive (psychological)- Learned drive (status/social)
Cues – Weak stimuli when the buyer’s respond- Triggering cue- Non – triggering cue - Specific product
Response: What buyer does?Reinforcement – event that strengthens
buyer’s tendency of response.
Howard incorporates these cues in an equation: B= P*D*K*V
B = ResponseP= Predisposition/ inward response
tendency habitD= Present drive levelK= incentive potential i.e.
value, product/potential satisfaction of the buyer Example if predisposition is positive then automatically
K is activeV= intensity of all customer
Sales ForecastingThe forecasting process is defined as
the series of decisions andactions taken by a business
organization in:Identifying the forecasting
objectivesDetermining the independent and
dependent variablesDeveloping a forecasting procedureUsing the available data in the
selected method to estimate the sales in future
Sales Forecasting Methods: The sales forecasting method is a procedure for estimating how much of a given product (or product line) can be sold if a given marketing program is implemented.
Quantitative methods &Qualitative methods
Sales Force SizeThe size of the sales
force greatly depends on the way the department is organized. In its simplest terms, one can keep on hiring until the last sales person does not produce more in sales than they earn.
Equalized Workload MethodIncremental Productivity
Method:
Equalized Workload MethodSuppose average number of calls 1000 per year. Sales force size can be calculated as:Sales force size = Total workload + Average number of calls per salesman= 39000 + 1000= 39Company’s sales force size is 39 salesmen. It needs 39 salesmen to meet its workload.
Incremental Productivity Method
In this method, additional (incremental) cost of salesman is compared to additional (incremental) sales revenue.
