1.1 Research background

Industrial companies need sales representatives who can help them analyze customer needs.
Personal selling allows marketers to tailor presentations to individual customer needs, desires, motivations, and behaviors. Personal selling is an effective tool that organizations use to get the desired response from their customers and prospects. Effective personal selling includes effective communication, educating customers on product usage, problem solving, stimulating and motivating, and ultimately obtaining positive feedback. To be successful in a highly competitive environment, industrial goods manufacturers must use face-to-face selling as their primary promotional tool. By selling industrial products through face-to-face sales, sellers persuade prospective customers through personal interaction that they like the company’s products, prefer other competitors’ products, and spend money on them. I can. Therefore, this study focuses on evaluating personal sales practices and improving sales of industrial products in firms in the Lagos metropolitan area. Christian Moller, David T.

However, due to the importance and importance attached to private selling, the seller must have the ability to perform these functions. In my experience, many salespeople fail at this point.
