1. What were the major problems that were affecting the relationship between the company and the distributors?
Though the Office Equipment Division had a strong and committed distributor network Morgan imposed numerous conditions on the distributor’s operations. Initially since being Morgan’s dealer was considered an honour they agreed to all its conditions but later the dealers were pressurised on many terms which were the main reasons of friction between the dealers and the company. The following were some of the problems that existed between Morgan and its distributors.
Morgan assigned the dealers specific territories and by policy cross-selling was not allowed. They were also not allowed to distribute any other brand of similar products
Officially dealers were not given the option of credit transactions, they were expected to pay immediately once the products were billed and they also had to deposit blank cheques in case they don’t repay
Morgan was forcing its dealers to stock in all products in the product line irrespective of its demand because whenever an order for an offbeat product was received by the dealers it took 3-20 days for Morgan to arrange for the same. Dealers did not want to stock all the products because it blocked their inventory space and their

    Jim Black

    Jim Black impatiently drummed the steering wheel and puffed a cigarette as his car moved slowly northbound along the Parkway. Traffic congestion was normal in the late afternoon, but it seemed much heavier today. In any event, it was another irritation that was going to make him late for his next appointment. As a sales representative at Noram Corp., Jim could not afford to keep clients waiting. Sales of compressed oxygen and other gases were slower during this prolonged recession. Other compressed gas suppliers were eager to grab new accounts and it was becoming more common for clients to switch from one supplier to another. Jim pressed his halffinished cigarette against the ash tray and accelerated the car into another lane. Buyers of compressed gases knew that the market was in their favor and many were demanding price discounts and shorter delivery times. Earlier in the week, for example, one of Jim's more demanding customers telephoned for another shipment of liquid oxygen to be delivered the next morning. To meet the deadline, Jim had to complete an expedited delivery form and then personally convince the shipping group to make the delivery in the morning rather than later in the day. Jim disliked making expedited delivery requests, even though this was becoming increasingly common among the reps, because it often delayed shipment of…

    Cloverleaf Plc Case Study

    Cloverleaf plc was a UK­based supplier of bottling plant used in production lines to transport and fill bottles. Two years ago it opened an overseas sales office targeting Germany, France and the Benelux countries. It estimated that there were over 1,000 organisations in those countries that had bottling facilities, and that a key sales push in northern Europe was therefore warranted. Sales so far had been disappointing with only three units having been sold. Expectations had been much higher than this, given the advantages of their product over that produced by their competitors. Technological breakthroughs at Cloverleaf meant that their bottling lines had a 10 per cent speed advantage over the nearest competition with equal filling accuracy. A key problem with competitor products was unreliability. Down time due to a line breakdown was extremely costly to bottlers. Tests by Cloverleaf engineers at their research and development establishment in the UK had shown their system to be the most reliable on the market. Cloverleaf’s marketing strategy was based around high quality, high price competitive positioning. They believed that the superior performance of their product justified a 10 per cent price premium over their key competitors who were all priced at around £ 1 million for a standard production line. Salespeople were told to stress the higher speed and enhanced reliability when talking to customers. The sales organisation in northern Europe consisted of a sales manager with three salespeople assigned to Germany, France and the Benelux countries respectively. A technical specialist was also available when required. When a sales call required specialist technical assistance, a salesperson would contact the sales office to arrange for the technical specialist to visit the prospect, usually together with the salesperson. Typically, four groups of people inside buying organisations were involved in the purchase of bottling equipment,…
