Importance of sales force management:
Good salespeople are hard to find, and the search can be very time consuming. However, good managers know that searching for personable sales professionals with strong work ethics will benefit the company in the long run. There are various things to consider when searching for a good sales force.
Goal Setting
To achieve sales goals, your company needs to set sales numbers or goals for the
staff. One way for a company to achieve and maintain growth is to increase its sales
numbers. Sales managers can set sales goals that will promote growth and are
attainable by the sales staff. Many sales managers use cash bonuses or other
incentives to motivate staff to achieve the goals. Sales goals for staff can also be set to
match the strengths of each staff member. As a student of BBA I can set my goals
fast in the practical moments.
Tracking
Sales management enables management to track the overall sales of the company as
well as the individual sales of each employee. Using sales tracking, management is
able to tell if the company is on track to meet its goals or if individual members of the
sales team are not producing enough sales. By keeping the sales force constantly up to
date on the status of their sales, you can help them to adjust their sales techniques and
productivity to achieve the company's sales goals.
Reporting
Using sales management, a company can produce sales reports that can be used to
track the performance of its sales force over different periods. For example, you can
use sales reports to compare the sales of the company on different years over the same
period. The sales reports can determine the direction your company must take based
on the results. For example, if the sales reports determine that your company is
experiencing substantial growth year after year, it may indicate that expansion is a
possible direction for the company.

Sales System
As a company grows, it can become more difficult to track and manage the sales
process without a system in place. Sales management provides companies with a
system to train and manage employees while streamlining the sales process from the
individual sales employee to the customer. This is beneficial because if there is a
problem at any point of the sales process that may affect the company's bottom line, it
can be quickly identified and corrected.
Growing Your Business
A good sales force will meet and exceed its sales goals. In doing so, your company
will see a consistent growth in profits.
Building Client Loyalty
A good sales force is loyal to its company, and loyal salespeople often attract loyal
clients. Clients also prefer to work with professionals who know their product.
Department Morale
Good sales professionals earn the respect of their peers by working hard. Work
environments that foster mutual respect have high morale and are more productive.
Lower Cost to the Company
A good sales force works efficiently. Efficient employees understand that their
salaries are investments, and will make good use of their time. This will lower the
cost involved in running your department and help you keep your department’s
expenses under budget.
Building Your Reputation
If you hire an excellent sales force, its stellar performance will be viewed as a
reflection of your talents. This will help you maintain job security, and it will assist
you with career advancement at the appropriate time.

In the last we can say that as a student of BBA, effective management of the sales force is
needed to implement the company’s chosen sales force design and achieve its sales
objectives. Sales force management covers the steps in recruiting and selecting, training,
supervising, motivating, and evaluating representatives.
