Image
  Introduction Due to the current political, economic, and social influence of the global economic meltdown, many countries of the world have resolve to focus on their domestic economy so as to foster a sustainable and virile domestic economy that will be moderately resistant from the economic and financial strangling that may try to reoccur in the future. The recent global economic meltdown has brought to the limelight, as well as the reality, that the world is a global market (Banabo & Ndiomu, 2011). Nigeria has a history of post-colonial agrarian economy and is now heavily dependent on the oil and gas economy (Ahiauzu, 2010). Efforts are now being made to diversify the economy by investing for example in agriculture and also encouraging the manufacturing sector. However, entrepreneurship-led development strategies are now being emphasised as these have proven successful in several Less Developed Countries (LCDs). The Nigerian economy which used to thrive on agr...

MEANING OF SALES MANAGEMENT

In recent years, Sales Management has changed more rapidly as a practice and profession than ever before.  A lot of this has to do with the rapid disruption in the sales industry and a transition to Inside Sales, which as a model is much more measurable and transaction driven. I thought now would be a good time to redefine what sales management is and the new roles of sales managers. Things changed for many reasons, some due to the information asymmetry from the days before the Internet, which has transmuted into information parity that is now the prevalent de facto standard, not to mention the fact that the buying cycle is 70% complete (according to Corporate Executive Board) before a buyer even speaks to a sales representative. Additionally, there has been a disruptive change within the Inside Sales model, which is growing 10x faster than traditional field sales as a profession – more and more sales are done over the phone rather than in person. Thus, the practice, appro...
