Although he has always been successful in selling and indeed his new company's growth
is down to his personal selling skills coupled with his knowledge of IT and web design,
he has never before had to manage a sales force, and certainly not for his own company.
Within the next three months, however, Shakeel has to decide what sort of persons he
needs and then recruit and select them. He must then train and manage them. Quite
simply, despite his extensive experience as a salesperson, he is concerned about where to
start. He recognizes the importance of getting this right, as the whole future of his
company will depend on the qualities and management of his own salesforce.
Questions :
a) Advise Shakeel regarding what you feel should be the key elements in sizing and
managing his new sales force.
b) What factors Shakeel should consider while setting targets and planning territory
allocation to his sales team?
c) Identify important factors Shakeel must keep in mind while undertaking
compensation planning.
