EMERGING TRENDS IN
SALES MANAGEMENT
-By Richa
BBA’IV’-A
To be successful in a changing market
environment, it is important that sales managers
understand the importance of emerging trends in
the following areas
1.Global Prospective
2.Technological Revolution
3. Customer Relationship Management [CRM]
4.Sales force diversity
5.Team Selling Approach
6.Managing Multi-Channels
7.Ethical and social issues
Global prospective
Domestic companies who never thought about foreign competitors are
suddenly finding them in their backyard. This is a challenge which sales
managers and salesperson must take on, they have to improve their
personal selling efforts not only in their countries but also in foreign
countries. Selling goods and services in global markets presents a
challenge due to differences in culture, language, needs and
requirements.
Technological revolution
Digital revolution and management information system have greatly
increased the capabilities of consumers and marketing organizations.
Consumer today can get information about products, compare it with other
brand,place an order instantly over the internet. This has led to a different
kind of sales force who collects information about internet users, markets
and prospects of internet buyers.
To compete effectively, sales person and managers will have to adopt the
latest technology.
Customer relationship
management
Combining information technology with relationship marketing has resulted in
customer relationship management. The concept of relationship marketing
came about earlier by bringing quality, customer service and marketing
together.
Relationship marketing aims in building long term satisfying relations with
key customers distributors and suppliers in order to earn and retain their long
term preference and business.
Sales force diversity
The demographic characteristics of sales force is changing and becoming
more varied.
For example, more and more women are taking up careers in sales
management and selling. Also the education level of sales people is going
up most of them holding a college degree or a post graduate degree.
Sales managers now have to handle a sales force of these varied
demographic, expectations of each and every individual is different and
sales manager needs to use different motivational tools against each one of
them.
Team selling approach
The practice of team selling is more widely followed by most companies in
recent years. Team selling approach is used when company wants to build a
long term mutually beneficial relationship with major customers, who have
high sales and profitable potential. It is used for selling a technically complex
product or a service to a potential customer. The composition of team may
vary depending upon the customer from top management, technical
specialist, customer service, etc…
Managing Multi-Channels
Multi-channel marketing system occurs when organization uses two or more marketing
channels to target one or more customer segments. Major benefits of multi-channel
marketing system are:
1.Lower channel cost
2.Increased market coverage
3.Customized selling
Multi-channel may also lead to conflicts and control problems, as two or more channels
may compete for same customer. A successful sales manager will have to effectively
manage conflict between the channels.
Ethical and social issues
Sales managers have ethical and social responsibilities. Sales people face ethical
issues such as bribery, deception (or misleading) and high pressure sales tactics.
Today’s sales managers have no choice but to ensure ethical standards from sales force
otherwise they may be out of business or even land up in legal problems.
THANK YOU
