A good ‘system’ for controlling salesmen’s work involves these four basic steps:
Deciding what goals your group should strive to attain; and deciding what activities your salesmen should undertake in order to reach these goals.
Communicating the group’s objectives- in terms of specific activities so that each salesman knows what he is expected to do and how he is expected to do it.
Checking to see if the salesmen have done what was expected of them.
Redirecting efforts when salesmen go astray, & rewarding performance that meet expectations.
