How
would you respond?
What advice would you give this
fictitious distribution company? Although the company name is fictional,
the situation is true-to-life for many industrial distributors. We invite
you to share your opinion. We’ll post the best responses online.
Fictitious distributor Primo Industrial
Supply sales manager Kevin Fitzpatrick is fed up. He ordered each
salesperson to turn in one documented customer cost-saving per quarter.
The program has been a miserable failure.
What
do you think?
Should Fitzpatrick start to pay his salespeople to turn in the
documentation he requires? Should he withhold commission checks from his
salespeople until they turn in their report? Or, should he fire the lot of
them for gross insubordination?
If you were in Fitzpatrick's shoes, what
would you do?
