You are the Sales Manager for a Western India Company, and you just received a memo from the company President indicating that the firm will soon be switching all sales and marketing activities through the use of personal computers/Lap Tops. Although the sales people have been doing a good job manually for years, you feel that the majority will welcome this new shift. However, you do have a few veteran sales people who may resist changing over to the computer based system and wish not to upset or alienate these individuals. They are extremely important to your sales force and often act as "mentors" to the newer sales people in the company.

Questions :

(a) As a sales manager, what steps you would consider to handle this situation while keeping sales force morale high ?

(b) Discuss how computerisation in sales function can be used as a distinct competitive advantage.
