Training of Sales Force
Every company has different training program on the basis of what the company is
producing. Dysin Automobile Limited has its own training center for employees at Lahore in
which the used to train their employees. In Pakistan, HINO truck is the first which has its
own training center for employees and Dysin Automobile Limited is the second which also
has its own training center. The training is based on product knowledge, customer’s
knowledge, selling techniques and how a sales man sell their product to customers.
Dysin Automobile Limited use to provide two types of training to their employees:
1. InternalTraining:In Internal training, new salereps has to work along with senior sales
reps whose has knowledge about products, customers and selling techniques as well as
the senior sales person guide him what to do or what not to do. Along with that they used
to provide orientation to new employees, in which they brief them about company.
2. External Training: External training is decided by company. They use to monitor their
employees and find out which employee which type of training. If a person is an
experienced person, and he is unable to achieve his target sohe is given the training about
the products as they believe that product have the market what lacks in that sales person
is his selling skills so it is polished by giving by giving him complete product knowledge.

Performance Appraisal
Performance appraisals are usually done annually which have some fundamental KPI’s. For
example an area manager has a task of selling a xyz amount of cars, and then this task is
evaluated annually, semi-annually or quarterly, or it could be the amount of new employees
generated by the manager. Sales is one of those departments whose KPI’s are very clearly
defined. Appraisals are done annually, and increments are directly linked with appraisals,
another thing related with increments is the overall achievement of results of the
organization.
How Performance Appraisal effect on employee’s
Salary?
If a firm sees a good projected future in which it can see itself making good profits then they
consider giving good increments because of effective business plans. Another thing effecting
increments is trying to keep up with the competitor, giving increments that can compete
with your competitor.
Recommendation
The Sales department is heavily dependent on the sales process and its relevant KPI’s. One
certain way of improving is to stay consistent and provide good results to stay in the market,
because their competitors like Hino Pak are present in the market from 30 or 40 years and
they are still improving. One other factor that needs to be looked upon is their Line of
Communication. Their line of communication is line structured and does not allow any
flexibility. People within the structure have to contact the person above them to get to the
next level, skipping any level is not allowed.
