Maximising orders by retailers is critical to any sales driven business, especially for FMCG and Consumer Durable product companies. This lever worked on effectively with the sales team, can have a major impact on the top line of the FMCG and Consumer Durable product companies.
However, this isn’t a cakewalk – as anyone who’s been in sales knows – and the challenge only multiplies when trying to drive this across an entire field sales team. Just a few challenges and pitfalls can drastically hamper order maximisation efforts and sales.
A key aspect that can hinder a sales rep is visibility of current stocks at the retailers – limiting their ability to sell the right products to them. To make things worse – some outlets don’t stock certain products, which sell well in the same neighborhood from other outlets.
Another key hurdle is the sales reps not knowing all the sales schemes and incentives being given to retailers. Data suggests, that 50% of times, the sales schemes are not communicated by sales reps or suffer a Chinese whisper syndrome and are dramatically twisted as they pass on from the headquarters to field force and then finally to the retailers. Further making things harder – the absence of any actionable insights hinders the upsell and cross-sell prompts, in more ways than one.
