The sales plan provides information about the strategy, goals, tools, and processes and the necessary indicators to achieve the business’s sales goals. A sales plan can be short but requires thought and research about the specific company, customer, and sales process. To create a sales plan, businesses need to define their goals, who the target customers are clearly, and how the sales process is established.<\/em><\/p>\n

1. What is the sales plan?<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

1.1. Sales plan concept<\/span><\/h3>\n

A sales plan is a sales activity plan showing sales goals, strategies<\/a>, and tactics. A good sales plan will help businesses identify specific, reasonable sales goals and exploit market potential.<\/span><\/p>\n

In particular, a sales plan must always go hand in hand and derive from marketing goals. The sales plan is an integral part of the business strategy with elements such as: what to focus on selling and how to use sales skills.<\/span><\/p>\n

1.2. Distinguish between business strategy and marketing strategy<\/span><\/h3>\n

According to Jauch and Glueck (1993): “A business strategy is a single, general plan that links a firm’s resources to business opportunities. It ties the strategic advantages of a business to the challenges of the environment.” In addition, a business strategy can be understood as the entire long-term action program of the enterprise to use resources to achieve the set goals and tasks effectively.<\/span><\/p>\n

Marketing strategy is “a marketing-oriented thought that directs a business unit to achieve business objectives”. A marketing strategy includes specific marketing programs for target markets, positioning<\/a>, marketing mix<\/a>, and marketing expenditure levels. Marketing strategy outlines how a business delivers value to its target customers to create value for itself.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Requirements and targets for the sales plan<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

2.1. Requirements for a sales plan<\/span><\/h3>\n

A sales plan is a plan that defines a roadmap and how to achieve target sales and profits in a certain area. A sales plan may also represent the personal responsibilities of a salesperson or business representative in a given territory.<\/span><\/p>\n

A sales plan covers the goals of the sales process and the responsibilities and rights that each salesperson needs to fulfil. A sales plan usually shows sales goals (target sales) and targets for sales representatives. The sales plan must offer deals according to the target norm.<\/span><\/p>\n
