Ch. 17 - Personal Selling and Sales Management


Tesla Motors sells cars that are different, expensive to some, and requires convincing. Their products require more personal selling.




Tesla Model S meets the requirements of a personal seller but, only in a few states including California, Nevada, Washington, New Hampshire, and New Jersey.

Anyone in the United States can start the process of buying a Tesla by phone or online, but dealers say Tesla's factory stores are illegal in some states. So if you want to purchase a car, you would have to buy at TeslaMotors.com and then arrange a delivery.





While it is true that one could just go online, order the car without any human interaction what so ever most of us are not that comfortable when it comes to buying a car. Tesla sales personnel are there to educate you and help clients with their needs. Some disadvantages that faces Tesla, is that some storefront personnel are limited when it comes to personal selling because they can’t discuss price or guide the purchase of a car. Some advantages is that the sales personnel are not paid on commission so they don’t pressure the consumers into buying unlike other car dealers. Tesla websites collect feedback via forum conversations, blogs, and emails.

  1. Perfection to the core. Sales management is quite tough so I totally agree that we need a great layout and plan to grab the market. Heard a lot about sms automotive and of course get daily updates from various companies. Also interested in buying a suitable vehicle for my husband as soon as possible.
