...Creating a Personal Selling Philosophy Abstract At some point, every transaction will require some elements of sales. More specifically, every business offers either a service or is selling a product. A career in sales can personally and financially prove to be rewarding and beneficial. In order to be a successful salesperson, one should develop a personal selling philosophy. Personal selling can be referred to as one of the major promotional methods used in business either by the people employed, by the total expenditures, or by the expenses as a percentage of sales. This paper will discuss developing a personal selling philosophy, selling factors style in a global environment, and examining a fit assessment. Creating a Personal Selling Philosophy Personal selling is the interactive process whereby a buyer and a seller negotiate an exchange process. It is usually, though not necessarily, carried out in a fact-to-face encounter between the parties [ (Blythe, 2009) ]. Personal selling is tailored specifically to respond to the customers’ needs and resolve their problem. Salespeople are encouraged to develop a personal selling philosophy based on the three prescriptions: adopt the marketing concepts, value personal selling and assume the role of a problem solver or partner. Sales trainers and writers have emphasized the problem-solving aspects of selling for many years now: the most successful presentations are those in which the customer does most of the talking...

...Chapter 15 Summary Yuzhe Jiang Chapter 15 talks about the role of promotion in the marketing mix, the elements of the promotional mix, the communication process. The communication process has several steps, the goals and tasks of promotion, the AIDA concept and its relationship to the promotional mix, the factors that affect the promotional mix and the concept of integrated marketing communications. First, the role of promotion in the marketing mix. Promotion is communication by marketers that informs, persuades, and reminds potential buyers of a product in order to influence an opinion or elicit a response. Promotional strategy is the plan for using the elements of promotion-advertising, public relations, sales promotion, and personal selling-to meet the firm's overall objectives and marketing goals. Based on these objectives, the elements of the promotional strategy become a coordinated promotion plan. The promotion plan then becomes an integral part of the total marketing strategy for reaching the target market along with product, distribution, and price. Second, the elements of the promotional mix. The elements of the promotional mix include advertising, public relations, sales promotion, and personal selling. Advertising is a form of impersonal, one-way mass communication paid for by the source. Public relations is the function of promotion concerned with a firm's public image. Firms can't buy good publicity, but they can take steps to create a positive company image...

...Marketing Compare and contrast the five different marketing management orientations. Is the one orientation right and the others wrong? Katarzyna Kawa 1. INTRODUCTION Marketing as barter has its ancestry in olden times, when people started to produce goods for their own use and then to exchange them for other things. The concept of marketing that we have now has more to do with developments from the period of the industrial revolution of the 18th and 19th centuries. This was an age of fast social change determined by technological and scientific innovation. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, manufacturers did not really need marketing. It was not a problem for them to sell whatever they produced. As marketplace and technology developed, competition started increasing and companies began to produce more than they could without difficulty sell. In 1950s and 1960s organizations developed increasingly huge forceful sales, and more aggressive advertising methods. In 1970s marketing generally moved away from a heavy emphasis on post-production selling and advertising to become a more comprehensive and integrated field, earning its place as a major influence on corporate strategy. As a final point in the 1980s customers obtained their correct place at the center of the organization’s life, and yet there is still space for further development of the marketing concept, as new submissions and contexts come out. 2. MARKETING ORIENTATIONS The marketing...

...Sales Management Question 1. A leading University in Kenya is planning to recruits two sales people to contribute in their growth plan. They have approached you as a marketing expert regarding the qualities of sales people should hire. What would be your advice? A salesperson should possess several qualities that would enable him/her to perform the outlined tasks effectively. A person may make a good salesman in one line of business and may fail in another. Therefore, as a marketing expert, I would advise the University to consider both the physical and mental attributes of the available candidates. a) Physical attributes: A successful salesperson must have sound health and pleasing personality. A growth plan in the University is arduous and requires sharpness in handling the associated responsibilities. He/she should have capacity for hardwork, stamina and sufficient tolerance. A good personality consists of several attributes namely; neat appearance, refined tastes, good habits, clear voice and a confident demeanour. Only a well-groomed and cheerful candidate can create a good impression on the clients. The recruiting panel should be keen to look out for: Personality: Personality is a composite of various characters of a person-personal appearance, habits, manners, way of dressing, posture and voice. They should be good listeners who appreciate constructive criticism. A good personality will ensure that there are minimal deviations from the growth plan due to challenges...

Continuing today’s strategy is risky; so is turning to a new strategy. Therefore, tomorrow’s successful companies will have to heed three certainties: ➤ Global forces will continue to affect everyone’s business and personal life. ➤ Technology will continue to advance and amaze us. ➤ There will be a continuing push toward deregulation of the economic sector. These three developments—globalization, technological advances, and deregulation— spell endless opportunities. But what is marketing and what does it have to do with these issues? These three developments—globalization, technological advances, and deregulation— spell endless opportunities. But what is marketing and what does it have to do with these issues? Marketing deals with identifying and meeting human and social needs. One of the shortest definitions of marketing is “meeting needs profitably.” Whether the marketer is Procter & Gamble, which notices that people feel overweight and want tasty but less fatty food and invents Olestra; or CarMax, which notes that people want more certainty when they buy a used automobile and invents a new system for selling used cars; or IKEA, which notices that people want good furniture at a...
