1.
Introduction to Sales & Marketing – Definitions.
What’s your understanding?
2.
Traditionally, marketing and sales has revolved around
the "four variables." These are the product, the price, promotion
and active distribution.
3.
Sales theory is about the relationship between the
sales force and the product itself. Theorist: Marketing professor Thomas
Ingram of Colorado State University stresses the integration of marketing and
sales.
4.
E.G.Price-Promo-Dist:
Sales is
largely the process of turning demand turn into profit, or alternatively,
turning purchasing power into demand. Part of this is price. If there is a
closely competitive market in products that are very similar --- Nissan v.
Toyota, for example --- then price becomes the only real distinction. Both
Nissan and Toyota have excellent mileage and reliability, and hence, the only
real way to promote the product in a competitive market is to stress the
concept of price.

Theorists:
·
Making Sales Training
Meaningful: Maslow (1954) creativity-motivation
·
Problem solving-creativity : Rickards
‘Being creative is seeing the same thing as everyone else but thinking
of something different’(http://www.ozemail.com.au/~caveman/basics/definitions.htm).

Class Q:
Koestler
said:‘True creativity often starts where language ends.’ How would you
interpret this statement in the context of business?
Group
Activity:
1:
Keeping prices competitive
John
Holmes operates a clothes wholesale distribution business. Competition is
strong, and pricing
is
keen. Rising costs of distribution, however, are a constant problem, and all
rival distributors
compete
strongly on price. John is looking for ways of keeping prices competitive.
Question:
How
can John try to minimise price rises in the face of strong competition and at
the same time
still
maintain profitability?

Lecture-Roleplay demonstrations-Group work
Note: It's
not just about selling products and making money, but about building
relationships based on trust, loyalty and mutual benefit. Therefore, the
connection between sales theory and practice is about building a real
community that exists for mutual gain and utility.
Training is provided
to bring the salesperson as quickly as possible to optimal productivity and
maintain that level. Due to the costs associated with training, optimal
productivity is not
the same as maximum productivity.Continued maintenance training is required
by providing product-market information or new selling skills in a dynamic
environment.

‘Unless
a company is progressing all the time, it is in fact moving backwards. It is
quite impossible to maintain the status
quo’ (Rogers, 1996).
·
Who could have
envisaged fifty years ago the retail development complexity of travel agents
or the shopping complexes at airports such as London Heathrow, London
Gatwick, Manchester International, Amsterdam, Kuala Lumpur, Munich, Madrid
and Barcelona – to mention just a few. Indeed, some of the major airport
complexes have developed almost into miniature shopping centres in their own
right.
·
Airlines- Logos – Their
Wing/Body Branding
·
The airline
business is immensely competitive, and all companies have to strive to find
ways of identifying means of establishing a competitive advantage for
themselves. This is often sought by trying to improve the quality of service
offered in relationship to the price charged or through the nature of the
augmented services offered.
·
Service quality
includes such things as:
1
Tangibles. Do the physical
facilities, equipment and appearance of personnel associated with the service
promote confidence in the quality of the service?
2
Reliability. Is there evidence of
an ability to perform the promised service properly the first time?
3
Responsiveness. Is there a
willingness to help customers and provide prompt service?
4
Competence. Do the personnel
possess knowledge and skill, and have they an ability to convey trust and
confidence?
5
Credibility/trustworthiness. Is
the organisation trustworthy and does it always deliver what it promises to
deliver?
6
Empathy. Does the provider of the
service provide its customers with individual attention?
7
Courtesy. Do customers perceive
the service provided to be a friendly one?
8
Communication. Are customers kept
informed about the service offered in the language they can understand? Do
the providers of the service listen to what the customers have to say?
|
Discuss Case Study:
Sir Colin Marshall in the
1980s with a particular directive to focus on the customer. An effective
internal marketing programme was based on the notion that employees would not
treat customers better until they themselves were treated better. Marshall
established profit sharing and a two-day seminar at which attendance was
compulsory for all employees.
It
was felt that the programme contributed significantly to raising staff morale
and to
better customer relations.
