DSMs and MRs have to receive quality as well
as quantity targets

Q2. Is it a good time to revise the targets? If yes, then how
should Parkin revise the targets?
The yearly are targets are set after doing detailed analysis of industry, company
itself and reviewing current performance
Revising the targets at this stage will deliver a wrong message across company and
to the MRs who worked very hard to achieve their targets
The competition’s growth rate is 28-30% while we are still targeting 20%
Therefore, not a good time to revise targets in the last quarter
However, more promotional strategies can be introduced in areas of uneven growth
More visits by MRs in affected areas may also help to achieve the desired targets
