Customer intimacy drives marketing function operations, in particular with the technical people in target organizations, with whom sales reps developed strong relationships. Technical support was given strong emphasis too.

A good sales manager would have known this and disseminated that information to his sales force.

A career sales force that the company hires, trains, supervises, and compensates likely will be more loyal than an independent sales force. As the case notes, these career salespeople sell only JPF policies.

Appendix B clearly shows, that from a sales representative’s point of view it does not pay to build a team. Assuming that a successful sales representative, who is in the company for about 2 years (meaning that his own sales are still on the rise of 20% annually and not declining, because he is shorter than 5 years in the company), acquires one sales representative in his circle of friends, it can be seen that already in their first month, let alone year together, it diminishes the sales of the leader.
