Sales organization also depends on the type of sales force which is used, for example, field sales force, national account management, team selling, telemarketing, part-time sales forces, direct selling, etc.

Developing a Sales Organization Sales organization development refers to the formal, coordinating process of communication, authority and responsibility for sales groups and individuals. An effectively designed sales organization has a framework that enables the organization to serve its customers. Once the sales people know what their responsibilities are and who they report to, they can concentrate on doing their expected jobs to the best of their ability. Thus, a sales manager must recognize and deal with some basic problems faced by organizations, when developing his own sales organization. The five major issues are: 1.Formal and informal organizations 2.Horizontal and vertical organizations 3.The line and staff components of organizations 4.The size of the company.

Centralized and Decentralized Organization Line and Staff Components Marketing organizations also feature line and staff components. A line function is a primary activity and a staff function is a supporting activity. In a marketing organization, the selling function is the line component whereas advertising, marketing research, marketing planning, sales training and distributor relations are usually considered staff roles.

Company Size and Organization A simple functional company organization is shown in Figure 8. This structure is appropriate for most small and medium sized companies. These companies have relatively few products or services and use a limited number of distribution channels. As each functional area grows larger, the functional organization will be extended. A functional marketing organization is shown in Figure 9.

Field Sales Organization Field sales force consists of salespersons who work primarily with customers in person, although they may also use the telephone or assistance from computer links to expedite orders and provide customer service. The structure of a field sales force is usually based on some means of specialization, such as geography, market, product, or activity/function, or a hybrid of these types. The following are the important field sales: 1.Geographic sales specialization organization 2.Product-based sales specialization organization 3.Customer-based specialization organization 4.Hybrid sales organization 5.Team-based organization
