Business Development Associate
United Laboratories, Inc.
Acted as the company's arm in developing the business of the distributor in my given area. This is done by monitoring field performance of sales persons, gathering reports, and collecting data to determine actual performance in area. Using this information, I conduct a business review meeting with the distributor's sales force every first saturday of the month to evaluate previous month's performance, determine market and other factors affecting it, and formulate strategies to address issues. The venue is also used to deploy the following month's product priorities given by head office personnel, trade marketing groups, and product divisions. Handling of sales force also involves regular training sessions, which is done by working with each salesman. This includes account penetration, basic call procedures, and order planning using inventory goal computation, among other things. Though my job mainly focuses on distributor sales, I also have the task of evaluating the distributor's over-all performance. This is done by monitoring their monthly sales volume, finances, account receivables, and operations efficiency. Basically, I do for the distributor what I teach the salesmen to do for their customers, but on a larger scale.
