Sales Intelligence
Sales people are expected to provide information for sales planning and
management and there is growing need for better sales intelligence
from the field.
Sales people possess vital information about the market that can be
used to develop sales forecasts and quotas, to assess new products,
and to formulate marketing strategies.

Contd..
Sales managers must also make sure that the marketing intelligence
process is a two-way communication. Once the data has been analyzed,
it is essential that relevant facts are communicated back to the field
force in order to improve their selling efficiency.
Although the sales person has thorough knowledge about the market,
his opinion may be biased or incomplete knowledge.
For this reason sales manager must work with other staff specialists to
develop a procedure for incorporating information from the field into
the marketing planning process. For such reasons other sources are
also used, like:
12
1. Secondary data (which provides insight about the market
conditions and competitors)
2. Internal sales data (which allows managers to trace the
histories of individual accounts, products, territories, and
seasons)
3. Product life cycle patterns
4. Fluctuations, growth and decline of specific customers or
customer groups (This information can be used to detect
changes into different areas and at different times
throughout the year)
