1. Introduction
Here is my written Market Development report. I have been appointed as the newest sales person to the New Zealand team, to help with achieving that target. I would first like to familiarise myself with the company, and with my new role as I can see Zeacom has set itself the goal to increase its sales in the New Zealand market in the coming financial year by 10 %. This will open up new opportunities to further increase sales by previous years within the current market they are in. By doing this we will identify wants and needs in the market place.

Contrary to the situation at E-Z RP, there is no linkage of customer service representatives to development teams. For instance, CRSs are often the last to gain access about new information or new products. In terms of the organization of customer service, E-Z RP uses a specialized call center where customer service representatives deal with a single product. At Datatronics, the call center is centralized and CRSs deal with all products. E-Z RP uses the second tier support while Datatronics uses a minimal second-tier support. In terms of the training of CSRs, Datatronics only provides minimal on-the-job training while E-Z RP provides extensive training. Datatronics hires employees with basic customer service ability while E-Z RP recruits employees based on customer service skills, business knowledge, and communication ability. The performance metric at E-Z RP is the level of customer satisfaction, while the metric at Datatronics is the time on call or between calls. Although Matt does not intend to reproduce E-Z RP’s customer service system at Datatronics, these are the key issues that he ought to consider in making recommendations for changes at Datatronics.

Chip Reeves, Director of marketing and sales addresses this issue by making systems easier to maneuver. Many companies and CIO's are struggling to determine exactly how to best mobilize critical applications that can bring measurable payback to the company but also limit the disruption to and administrative headaches in their user's lives.

Customer Operations Group, C. Greystone expressed frustration with his divisions’ performance—he has also stated, “We’ve been forced”; VP Northeast Region, B. Walker stated, “some branch managers seem to spend most of their time worrying about the new performance measurement system—the skills and attitudes on many levels are mismatched with our current needs”; Branch Manager M. Pauley asks, “Exactly who handles all the pieces of a sale like this”, Sales Team Member 3 stated the situation is getting depressing. The organizational behavior put forth by the CEO and the Research and Advanced Development Group manufactured an internal discontent with divisions and individuals. As a result, the needs of the Manufacturing and Marketing were not considered and retain the support needed to function. The lower level individuals in the these divisions were unfairly treated and disengaged from the goal of the company which lead to ambiguity of company clear and direct goals (accountability and responsibility); flawed construction of Business Units and Sub Units; mass confusion of consolidating; geographic displacement; lack of division communication; lack of training; and most importantly the lack of sharing product
The InsuraCorp IT department will face several challenges associated with centralizing operations. InsuraCorp’s three major businesses, individual insurance, retirement plans, and group insurance, once handled all of their marketing strategies independently from one another.

The concept of giving consumers a dashboard of their various products in a centralized location to allow for better opportunities and business growth would be challenging. This change meant the IT department would need to find ways to implement new software, provide

This segment of the population is rising, now that the baby boomers are in their retirement years.

introducing new markets offers profound potential to attract new and old shoppers to the locality. However it also makes way for many complications given the Camberwell council already operates a fresh food market four days a week. The structural aesthetics and general cleanliness of a market plays a pivotal role for the ultimate consumer.
