Internal Organization in SD/Business Development

Use

The organization in Sales is represented by the elements sales office, sales group and salespersons. The following figure displays a sample organization in business development and sales.

Sales Office

Geographical aspects of the organization in business development and sales are defined using the term sales office. A sales office can be considered as a subsidiary. A sales office establishes contact between the firm and the regional market.

A branch office of a company in Chicago could be designated as a sales office.

Sales Group

The staff of a sales office may be subdivided into sales groups. For example, sales groups can be defined for individual divisions.

Salespersons

You can maintain personnel master records for sales representatives in your company. In the personnel master record, you assign the salesperson to the sales office and the sales group.
