Introduction
Broadly marketing could be split into :
1)Consumer marketing (B2C "Business to Consumer")
2)Industrial marketing (B2B "Business to Business").
Industrial marketing is the marketing of goods and services from one business to another.
The concept of organisational or industrial marketing is used to describe marketing activities targeted at all individuals and organisations that acquire products and services that are used in the production of other products and services.
These products include :
Capital goods (e.g. buildings, land and machines),
Output products (e.g. raw materials,components, production services).
Difference between B2B and B2C
Marketing is one-to-one in nature. It is relatively easy for the seller to identify a prospective customer and to build a face-to-face relationship.
High value considered purchase.
Purchase decision is typically made by a group of people ("buying team") not one person.
Often the buying/selling process is complex and includes many stages (for example; request for expression of interest, request for tender, selection process, awarding of tender, contract negotiations, and signing of final contract).
Marketing is one-to-many in nature. It is not practical for sellers to individually identify the prospective customers nor meet them face-to-face.
Lower value of purchase.
Decision making is quite often impulsive (spur of the moment) in nature.
Greater reliance on distribution (getting into retail outlets). More effort put into mass marketing (One to many).

Selling activities involve long processes of prospecting, qualifying, wooing, making representations, preparing tenders, developing strategies and contract negotiations.
E.g. of B2B selling process:
An organization is seeking to build a new warehouse building. After carefully documenting their requirements, it obtains three proposals from suitable construction firms and after a long process of evaluation and negotiation it places an order with the organization that it believes has offered the best value for money
More reliance on branding. Higher use of main media (television, radio, print media) advertising to build the brand and to achieve top of mind awareness.
E.g. of the B2C selling/buying process are...
A family are at home on a Sunday night and are watching television. An advertisement appears that advertises home delivered pizza. The family decides to order a pizza
Shapiro and Bonoma (1995) suggest that industrial markets can be meaningfully segmented using the following criteria: 1. Demographics 2. Operating variables 3. Purchasing approaches 4. Situational factors 5. Personal characteristics

Sales territory model
Sales territory:-A sales territory is a particular geographical area that has potential customers for a particular product. The sales territory also has present customers. The territory is assigned to a salesperson who is responsible for the sales management activity in the region. Dividing the entire sales region into a number of sales territories facilitates in smoothing the sales management operations.
Sales Force
A group of salespeople or sales representatives responsible for the sales of either a single product or the entire range of an organization's products. A sales force normally reports to a sales manager.
Sales Force Size And Territory Alignment Process
An efficient and effective salesforce is required for enhancing the sales productivity of an organization.
An important tasks of sales management is to ascertain the salesforce size to be deployed in a particular sales territory
Organizing The Sales Force
The selling activity in the organization is carried out by the salesforce. It is imperative for the management to cultivate and nurture an efficient salesforce towards enhancing the sales productivity. Sales management is the process of attaining the salesforce goals through the activities of planning, staffing, training, leading, and controlling the salesforce.
Time And Territory Management
For effective management of the sales process, different sales territories are assigned to the salesforce.
Time and territory management are two of the most significant aspects of the sales management process.
A company has four sales territories and four salesmen available for an assignment.
All terrotories are equally rich in sales potential.
Following are the estimates of sales expected from a typical salesman:
It is estimated working under same condition,their yearly sales would be proportionately as follows:
For max. expected sales,the intuitive answer is to assign the best salesman the the richest territory,next best to the next richest and so on.
Salesman A B C D Proportion 7 5 5 4
Applying assignment method Considering their yearly sales as 21, taking Rs 1000 as one unit,dividing individual sales unit to calculate sales by each saleman TERRITORY salesman 1 2 3 4 Sales proportion A 42 35 28 21 7 B 30 25 20 15 5 C 30 25 20 15 5 D 24 20 16 12 4 SALES(Rs ‘000) 6 5 4 3

Subtracting 1 from each uncovered element and adding it to the element at the intersection of two lines
