This chapter looks at personal selling, the oldest form of marketing and one of the oldest professions. One of the key points this week concerns the difference between "transaction-oriented" personal selling and "relationship-oriented" personal selling. One of the reasons this distinction has become so important is that consumers are using other information to do initial research into the product or service before engaging the seller. After studying this concept in the text, try to come up with an example of a company that has succeeded in migrating to this new form of personal selling. Explain your choice.

The last assignment for this week is to submit by an attachment the product idea and/or company you wish to use for your Marketing Plan. You can develop a new product idea or you may also develop a plan for an entirely new company that does not exist. I need to approve your idea before you get started on your plan.
If you want to come up with a new product idea, you need to
decide what company might manufacture and distribute this for you.
(For example, you wouldn't tell me you will be coming up with a new
product for Rubbermaid. You would tell me you have come up with a
product that can clean under appliances in the kitchen, and
Rubbermaid will manufacture and distribute it.) Come up
with something new, fun, interesting, or maybe something you've
always wished you had but isn't "out there". You can
also be an entrepreneur and develop a plan for a new business (it
must not currently exist)
The detailed instructions for the Marketing Plan can be found in
weeks 15 & 16. Your marketing plans must be received by
Sunday, May 10th. This week I just need the
product and/or company you will be creating for your marketing
plan. Please email me with any questions and I hope you have fun
with your plan. What you will be writing your plan about needs to
be submitted by April 12th.
