Deliverable 4 – Sales Force Plan
Scenario
You have been the District Sales Manager for Z-Mobile (a nation-wide cell phone company) for the past 2 years. You’ve been noticing a decline in sales, and your Sales Managers are reporting that the Sales Representatives at many of the stores are not feeling very motivated. You think this is partially due to the current compensation program in which all employees are paid a base salary without any bonuses or commission. Your plan is to unveil a new compensation program that you believe will increase employee motivation and lead to a significant increase in sales. You will also be creating a new job description for Sales Managers that refocuses their tasks and responsibilities. Additionally, you will use a motivational theory to retrain all current Sales Managers.
