In the same way, any company needs to establish a personal relationship with its major clients and potential customers. It is often said that “people do business
20、 with people“ : a firm doesn t just deal impersonally (没有人 情味地 ) with another firm. A person in the buying department regularly receives personal visits from people representing the firm s suppliers (供应商 ) or in the case of department stores or chain stores, a team of buyers may travel around visiti
21、ng their suppliers. Keeping sales people “on the road“ is much more expensive than employing them to work in the office. Much of the sales people s time is spent unproductively traveling.

22、fective. Companies involved in the export trade often have a separate export sales force. Its travel and accommodation expenses may be very high.
