How Have Your Sales Reps Performed During Tough Times?

At this time of year, it’s traditional to see the sales reps who represent the companies that provide the products used in golf operations across the country.

In many cases, this is the first year since the pandemic began that sales reps and personnel from golf operations are gathering in person at zone buying shows taking place across Canada.

The past couple of years have been tough ones and with inflation, rising interest rates, the possibility of recession, supply chain issues and the remnants of Covid, the next year or so doesn’t get any easier.

It’s in such difficult times that outstanding sales reps are so valuable, whether they’re getting a client the best possible price, going all-out to make sure product is on time whenever possible or providing solutions to potential problems.

Do your sales reps, in general, come through for you in tough times?

What score would you give to the sales reps you deal with in difficult times. If all are outstanding, give them an eagle. If most are, mark it for birdie. If just a few are excellent, give your reps a par or bogey.

That’s the question in this week’s GNN Poll.
