Business Questions Answered

Do you believe in the use of a sales
manual to be given to travelling
statesmen selling a speciality product
to retail stores. We have never used
one, but I notice from articles in the
leading trade papers that many of
the best concerns have adopted sales
manuals for their men. BY the
sales manuals. 1 mean. Of course, a
book in which the products that the
men are selling are completely de-
scribed, all their selling points out
lined and objections and his
ted so that the statesmen knows every
point about the goods he is selling
and carries it around in the manual
form. in cases of question of doubt.
SALES MANAGER.
I am a great believer in sales
manuals. First Of all, 1t gives them
talking points about the product,
which they may otherwise forget.
Second. they can always review these
talking points by reading over the
manuel. Third. by listing objections
and answers, you give your sales
men constant help in selling espe-
cially your new statesmen. Fourth.
IT gibes the salesman greater respect
for the product he IL selling if he
sees the sales arguments, objections
and answers outlined in this way.
The leading concerns of the coun-
try are finding sales manuals ex-
tremely important and profitable.
