Sales and Distribution Management Text and Cases [electronic resource] /

This book would fulfill the need for a text which covers the concepts of sales and distribution management and their applications in day-to-day business. Integration of sales and distribution management functions is the underlying theme of the book, which recognizes the fact that today there is probably no sales manager who does not have distribution responsibilities as well. Also, the treatment amply reflects that these managers are empowered to coordinate sales and distribution functions to achieve the larger goals and objectives of their organisations. To illustrate the concepts, examples have been cited from India as well as abroad, and from the consumer and industrial goods sectors. Many of these examples are from the rich experience of the authors as operating managers, consultants, and teachers. Salient Features Balanced coverage of Sales and Distribution topics. Case studies, all in the Indian context. Dedicated chapter on international distribution and sales management. Focused coverage of skill-sets required to become a successful sales person.
