Assignment 1. Sales Management

Create four to six questions for your interview. When creating your questions, make sure that you include questions that will cover the following issues:

The difference between management and leadership of a salesforce,

How situational factors affect sales leadership, and best practices that sales managers can follow to create an effective salesforce.

Find a sales manager to interview. You may be able to find one where you work or through your work colleagues, family, or friends ( e.g., auto dealers, radio and television stations, and newspapers have sales managers). A business you deal with may have a sales manager. Keep in mind that the sales manager you interview does not necessarily have to be local because you can conduct your interview in person, on the phone, or using the Internet (e.g., via e-mail, Skype, FaceTime).

When you conduct your interview, remember to take notes. Be sure to record the name and title of the sales manager and where he or she works. Start your paper by identifying the person you interviewed.

You have been asked to present information to your company's board of directors regarding each of the following items:

business continuity plan (BCP),

disaster recovery plan (DRP),

business impact analysis (BIA), and

operational risk management strategy (ORM).
