1.1 BACKGROUND
TO THE STUDY
A close examination of the promotional tools reveals that there
has been little or no attention to the importance of personal selling.
The key to achieving organizational goal is the proper intermingling of the
promotional tools. Firms pay much attention to advertising, sales
promotion and publicity, spending more than necessary on them, this situation
leads to increased cost of marketing (promotion), thereby increased cost per
unit sales for a product. This condition of increased cost per unit, if
all things being equal, and if other valuable should remain constant leads to a
lower demand for a product. This reduces sake turnover and this lower
profit.
Effective application of
personal selling will remedy the situation of lower sales and bridge the gap of
customers withdrawing from a product through the building of convocation about
a product in the minds of customer. Personal selling is unique of all the
promo – tools. I say this because of the human interaction, which it
entails. Hardis and Dromedas a firm in the household products industries
sees personal selling as the final link in the exchange process between it and
her numerous buyers.
Much ineffectiveness
experienced in the application of this tool. Should this time be traced
so as to show. Case how it can be carried out so as to reflect that, marketing
concept is practiced in the firm if the selling must be done, marketing concept
will not replace personal selling, but will change its application. This
will ensure customer satisfaction and goal optimization for the firm.
Several authors have stated the
need for all business entities to pay greater attention to personal
selling. Most companies do not really embrace personal selling until they
are driven to it by circumstance like declining sales, lots of market share,
change in buying patterns by consumers, aggressive competition and increase in
market expenditure. Let the role of personal selling be eked out, the
time of its application in the products life cycle, the sales persons,
carefully selected, trained and motivated, other promo tools used not in
isolation of personal selling then we will be achieving our goal of effectiveness
and efficiency in attaining cooperate goals.

people whose works do not yield immediate result on our profits”.

Enugu has not yet been felt, as it should be. But Germicides is an

Some complexities associated with the product needs to be

professional sales people.
But can we actually have such in existence without addressing the
problems associated with the management of sales organization, recruiting and
selection, motivation of sales – persons, leadership and supervision and
performance evaluation?
