LESSON 11

WHOLESALING

Text

Wholesaling is a part of the marketing system. It provides channels of distribution which help to dring goods to the market. Generally indirect channels are used to market manufactured consumer goods. It could be from the manufacturer to the wholesaler, from the retailer to the consumer or through more complicated channels. A direct channel moves goods from the manufacturer or producer to the consumer.

Wholesaling is often a field of small business, but there is a growing chain movement in the western countries. About a quarter of wholesaling units account for one-third of total sales.

Two-third of the wholesaling middleman are merchant wholesalers who take title to the goods they deal in. There arc also agent middlemen who negotiate purchases or sales or both. They don’t take title to the goods they deal in. Sometimes they take possession though. These agents don’t earn salaries. They receive commissions. This is a percentage of the value of the goods they sell.

Wholesalers simplify the process of distribution. For example, the average supermarket storks 5.000 items in groceries alone, a retail druggist can have more than 6.000 items. As ,a wholesaler handles a large assortment of items from numerous manufacturers he reduces the problem of both manufacturer and retailer. The store-keeper does not have to deal directly with thousands of different people. He usually has a well-stocked store and deals with only a few wholesalers.

Dialogue

John is explaining his new job to his wife, Susan. He is a sales trainee for a company.

John     It’s a great job, you know. The salesmen are paid salaries instead of being on commission.

Susan    Why do you find it great? You can earn less money.

John     Well, it’s a regular weekly salary. And besides we get reimbursed for everything lunches and dinners even the football tickets, the car, gasoline, tolls.

Susan    That’s really great.

John     And I’m going to get a raise in three months.

Susan    And what are you going to see

John     Foam rubber.

Susan    What is it used for?

John     It is used to make couches and beds, generally ideal with furniture manufacturers.

Susan    So you will travel much, won’t you?

John     No. Delivery is a part of our wholesaling operation. Foam is sold and delivered by the truckloads. It is rather bulky and it is expensive to have it shipped a big distance. We are going to deal with buyers who are in this region.

Susan    That’s fine. I don’t want you to travel too much. By the way I want to know more about sales procedure.

John     At first I go to see a buyer. We discuss what he n needs After that I send him a written quote. If our prices suit him, he’ll call us and send an order.

Susan    Do you take orders over the phone?

John     Yes. The buyers are always in a hurry and a letter would take too much time to come. If it’s a verbal agreement we call it gentlemen’s agreement.

Susan    And what happens after the verbal agreement?

John     We receive a written purchase order. It is called p.o.- and it has a number that we use for all future correspondence on that order. The office then retypes the order form and the p.o. and order form are stapled together and filed.

Susan    It sounds organized. Whom do you usually deal with in a company?

John     Well, I’ll deal with purchasing agents. But I could deal with any administrator from the president on down, in some cases.

Susan    Good. Soon you’ll get your raise.

John     Yes. Selling is usually a stepping stone to higher positions in management.

Susan    Don’t worry, dear. If it doesn’t work out, we still have my job.
