Effectiveness of selling techniques

As we know, businesses use a range of strategies and techniques to sell their good or service

We call this a promotional mix

If a businesses products, customer service and selling techniques are all functioning well, sales will increase.

Any downturn in sales can be very costly to a firm's profit. Any increase in sales should also be quickly analysed so that the reasons for it occurring are understood (and so the business can take advantage of it).

Businesses can collect data on sales for the total time period they are monitoring

Sale figures can be used to track how well a business is doing, though they don't necessarily represent customer satisfaction.

Businesses can also collect data about the level of customer service they provide
