A typical sales call, as it usually happens, is presented. Main sales call features in a highly fragmented retail network are listed. These features make it a challenge to address the marketing and promotion requirements, specially if sales reps have to work through a long list of products or several portfolios with many retailers. The sales organization, however, needs to ensure its practices and infrastructure are shaped and optimized toward overall organization objectives and strategy. To accomplish this, a sales force effectiveness scorecard is introduced, and best practice initiatives are suggested.
