PTC gave the task of indoor promotion to the third party contractors who perform that
task. But what they do, they don not perform it honestly. They just came to the retailers,
sit with them and ask them if you receive any call from the company then let them know
that they are in the field and performing their task or done their job.
Its result in company free expenditure and did not get any return from that. So, this is one of the
problems which we analyze by observing the retailers and by interviewing them.
Recommendations
By analyzing the above, we recommend them that they should solve this indoor promotion
problems by following the one of these suggestions.
34 | P a g e
PTC should do this task by own yourselves. Because PTC is spending too much money
on third party contractors for indoor promotion. If they hire its own sales force and spend
this money on them then they can perform this task more efficiently through its own sales
force.
Besides the above, they should give this task to its distributors because they have already
established sales force which is generating demand for them. If they gave this additional
task to its sales force and increase their compensation or PTC should provide incentive to
distributors if they perform this task then they can perform it efficiently.
By following one of these suggestions, PTC can mitigate this indoor promotion problem.
