Use of Customer Sales Teams

As we noted in our discussion of technical specialists, salespeople may require the assistance of others in their organization to effectively deal with prospects.  In fact, many companies are moving away from the traditional sale force arrangement, where a single salesperson handles nearly all communication with an account, in favor of a team approach where multiple people are involved. 

Teams consist of individuals from several functional areas such as marketing, manufacturing, distribution, and customer service.  In some configurations all members share bonuses if the team meets sales goals.  Clearly to be effective a team approach requires the implementation of customer relationship management systems that we discussed earlier.
