...Progress Report for Virtucon Investments, Sales Department Laptop computer upgrade Purpose This is a progress report for the for the proposed laptop upgrade with the purchase of fifty laptop computers. This is due to the fact of Virtucon Investments restructuring its Sales Departments information technology needs. To date, my team has compiled a list of laptop models that best suit our company; and from those, one will be selected which we recommend for purchase. Summary On November 2nd, 2015 Mr. Bigglesworth CFO of Virtucon Investments, notified my IT department within Virtucon that he was exploring the possibility of restructuring its Sales Departments information technology with the purchase of fifty laptop computers.

...recommendation steps. First, Sales-per-hour (SPH) should be modified to Sales-per-week as incentive evaluation metric while keeping the same 40-hour per week normal schedule and paying bonus for extra hours. SPH is the key factor that caused Nordstrom employees to manipulate work hour report that ultimately leads Nordstrom to face the King County Superior Court lawsuit. By using Sales-per-week metric, employees will no longer focus on manipulating work hour report to gain higher SPH since everyone will have the same time frame - “1 week”, no matter how many actual hours one works. Thus, employees are motivated to report actual work hours instead of shorting work hours to achieve high SPH. This step will effectively reduce the pressure of employees on detailed time management and motivate them on sales productivity. In addition, it not only rewards the extra hours of work that employees deserve to keep them more engaged, but also prevents the similar salary lawsuit from happening in the future. Second, work shift should be equally assigned to each employee. By eliminating the link between SPH to work shift, each employee will have balanced amount of peak hours and slow hours, which means equal sales opportunities for each employees. This step not only eliminates the unwanted employee behaviors such as reporting less hours to achieve better SPH and better shift, but also motivate fair and healthy competitive environment at Nordstrom. Third, in addition to Sales-per-week, implement all other...

...MANAGERIAL REPORT Case Study: Motion Picture Industry Assignment 1 Prepared By: Table of Contents Introduction 3 Executive Summary 3 Data and General Analysis 4 CONCLUSIONS 12 Integrity Statement 13 Works Cited 13 Executive Summary In this report we will show, via descriptive statistics, how independent variables appear to contribute to the success of motion pictures. Using data collected from a sample of 100 motion pictures produced in 2005, we utilize the following variables: Opening Weekend Gross Sales (in millions of dollars); Total Gross Sales (in millions of dollars); Number of Theaters, and; Weeks in Top 60, to graphically depict their contribution to that success. We will also display the data in both tabular and graphical methods to allow management to make inferences about the data and ultimately enable decision making with reference to the data set. There are more variables and parameters available to determine each depicted variable’s contribution to the success (or lack of success) of the motion picture, but this report only analyzed, interprets and presents with reference to the four variables mentioned. Major highlights include: * 70% of the motion pictures in the sample had Opening Weekend Gross Sales of less than $10 million. * 73% of the motion pictures in the sample had Total Gross Sales of less than $40 million. * 45% of the motion pictures in the sample were shown in 250 or less theaters. * 65% of the...

...Report Week 3 Lisette Rodriguez HRM/531 May 02, 2011 May 02, 2011 Memo To: Sales Team Subject: Training and Mentoring Program for InterClean/EnviroTech sales team Due to the departmental changes and restructuring of the sales team, we have developed a training and mentoring program. The program has been developed in order to align our workplace training with our business objectives. We have been doing things differently for quite some time. Although we have been effective in maintaining and growing market share as separate entities, we must capitalize on having two completely different sets of resources. I know that each company has had its individual road to success; however, we must come together to form a unique blend of unity as we merge the two philosophies. In the past, we sold products to customers to achieve our sales quotas. The new training will be to improve our service based sales. This training will provide the sales team with the opportunity to learn our new way of selling. It will involve getting acquainted and building rapport with the customer. This will further engage the customer and give them a sense of trust. By earning their trust, they will be more likely to share their product deficiencies with us. The training will provide us with the listening tools to receive the information given, and base their product need off of what we gather from them. With the new tools, we will be able to paint the picture for the customer and assure...
