Chapter 8: Management of Sales Quota
Sales quota
• a quota is an expected performance objective
• a quota is a sales assignments or goal to be
achieved in a specific period of time
• it is routinely assigned to the sales units (e.g.
departments, divisions, and individuals)
• sales units proceed to reach quotas in their
respective domains
“A sales quota is the sales goal set for a product line,
company division, or sales representative. It is primarily a
managerial device for defining and stimulating the sales
effort.”. … Kotler
Copyright © 2011 Oxford University Press

Chapter 8: Management of Sales Quota
Principles of quota setting
• setting of sales quotas is a challenge to the sales
manager and should be handled with precision
and adequate skill
• objectivity to be observed while fixing quotas
and should be based on facts and figures drawn
from the market
• it must be simple to understand both to the
manager and the sales people
• quotas set above the achievable limit often
demotivate and result in high turnover in the
organization
Copyright © 2011 Oxford University Press

Chapter 8: Management of Sales Quota
Principles.. contd.
• flexible to the prevailing and emerging market
conditions
• there should be a level of definiteness in the quota
set for a salesperson
• it should be fixed either in terms of geographic
territory, on money value, or on the basis of units of
product(s)
• a participatory quota setting procedure followed
jointly by the sales manager and sales people together
serves as a tool of motivation and leads to the
realization of the organizational sales goals

Chapter 8: Management of Sales Quota
Problems in setting sales quota
1. There is a high level of individual difference in every
organization
2. A perfect quota is a combination of selling and nonselling activities
3. Often sales people do not give proper attention to the
non-selling activities (e.g. searching for prospects,
handling customer objections, and creating market for
probable entry of new products)
