5 Diseño de la estrategia y estructura de la fuerza de ventas
Tipos de estructura de fuerza de ventas Diseño de la estrategia y estructura de la fuerza de ventas Designing Sales Force Strategy and Structure This CTR relates to the discussion on pp Territorial Territorio exclusivo para vender toda la línea de productos Compleja Combinación de los tipos de estructura anteriores Designing Strategy Designing strategy requires decisions on salesforce structure: Territorial Salesforce Structure. Under this structure, each salesperson is assigned to an exclusive geographic region. This structure provides clear responsibility and encourages the building of relationships between the salesperson and the retailer. Producto La fuerza de ventas se especializa en líneas de productos Cliente La fuerza de ventas se especializa en ciertos clientes o sectores Product Structure. Some companies organize separate sales forces for each product line. This is especially appropriate for complex products as it allows the salesperson to become expert on features and benefits. Customer Salesforce Structure. This structure organizes salespeople by customer levels, such as large, medium, and small companies or by different industries. Complex Structures. This approach combines variations of some or all of the previous structures. Very large companies that compete in many markets and have very different types of customers may find complex structures to be more adaptive and flexible to their needs.

Tamaño de la fuerza de ventas Diseño de la estrategia y estructura de la fuerza de ventas Designing Sales Force Strategy and Structure This CTR relates to the discussion on pp Otros aspectos de estrategia y estructura Designing Strategy Designing strategy requires decisions on salesforce size, and other key issues:. Salesforce Size. Setting sales force size is an important consideration as the salesforce is an important, and expensive asset. The workload approach sets size according to the number of people needed to call on a specified number of customers during a specific time period. Other Issues. Sales management must make other decisions of strategic importance that affect sales force structure, including: Outside and Inside Sales Forces. Outside or field sales forces visit customers in person, inside sales forces make contact by telephone. The latter may include technical support people, sales assistants, and telemarketers. Team Selling. This approach services accounts with a team of specialists rather than a single salesperson. This is especially appropriate for large, complex accounts and products. ¿Quién participará en la labor de ventas?

7 Reclutación y selección de vendedores
Recruiting and Selecting Salespeople This CTR relates to the material on pp Características de los vendedores Procedimientos de reclutamiento Proceso de selección de vendedores Entusiasmo y confianza Persistencia Iniciativa Compromiso con el trabajo Reclutación y selección de vendedores Vendedores actuales Agencias de empleo Anuncios clasificados Campus universitarios Aptitud para las ventas Habilidad analítica y de organización Rasgos de personalidad Otras características Recruiting and Selecting The traits of effective salespeople are not easy to identify, yet the decision is of critical importance for the company. Focusing on behavioral job duties may help set priorities. Areas to consider include: Who To Select. By linking traits to specific tasks, recruiters can more readily identify and screen potential employees. Recruitment must also address images of selling as a job versus a professional and legal requirements. Discussion Note: College students especially often have unrealistic expectations about selling and their initial role in the company. The demands of many customers for integrated performance-based knowledge about products often require the skills of a college educated salesperson. Recruiting Procedures. Many companies also face legal oversight in hiring and recruitment and/or they have their own agenda to match salesforce backgrounds to changing customer markets such as emerging minority and foreign owned businesses. Selecting Salespeople. For many large companies, tests are used to help select candidates from among recruits. Discussion Note: While tests can be useful, it is crucial that the content of the tests be related to Bona Fide Occupational Qualifications (BFOQs), or the company may be vulnerable to illegal discrimination suits.

Compensating Salespeople This CTR relates to the material on p. 489. Compensación de vendedores Los planes de compensación de la fuerza de ventas pueden motivar a los vendedores y también dirigir sus actividades. Salario Cheque de nómina Compensating Salespeople Compensation can be by salary, commission or bonus, and benefits. Variations in this mixture are appropriate for differing industries, markets and sales objectives. The sales force compensation plan can (and should) be designed to motivate and direct the salesperson. This can be accomplished by adjusting the combination of the following components accordingly: Salary. This is base rate of compensation. Salary levels communicate the importance the company places on the salesperson as an individual professional. High salaries tend to encourage company loyalty. Commission. This is a set percentage of compensation earned on the dollar amount of products sold. High commissions encourage higher volume per salesperson. Bonus. This is an incentive paid after reaching some specified goal. Discussion Note: Bonuses are an extremely flexible compensation tool because they can be added to reward a broad range of goal-related behaviors. For example, a bonus added to a commission rewards individual incentive and increases effort on a product or line in which it is offered. A bonus added to group, division, or department performance encourages teamwork. A bonus based on overall company profits encourages a total systems effort. Benefits. Benefits are compensation elements provided by the company that are not related to performance. An expense account covers costs. Medical and dental plans provide security.

Supervisors must determine how best to focus the efforts of salespeople to meet the needs of their customers in relation to the industry and competitive conditions. Developing Customer Targets and Call Norms. Companies often specify how much time their salesforce should spend prospecting for new accounts. Calls to accounts are often a function of how large or important the account is. Using Sales Time Efficiently. The annual call schedule is a tool that shows which customers and prospects to call on in which months. The time-and-duty analysis helps salespeople identify when they are selling versus waiting, traveling, eating and doing administrative work. Motivating Salespeople Organizational Climate. Climate describes the feeling that salespeople have about their opportunities, value, and rewards for a good performance within the company. Sales Quotas. Quotas are the standards stating the amount salespeople should sell and how sales should be divided among the company’s products. Positive Incentives. Companies can use other incentives to increase effort, including: Sales meetings. These provide social occasions, breaks from routine, and chances to meet and talk with others. Sales contests. These spur the salesforce to make a selling effort above what is normally expected.
