"Kudler currently does not have a policy or system that utilizes contracts with suppliers. Kathy and her assistant tailor generic forms to specify agreements with current suppliers. Organic producers want to implement contracts, so that they can have some certainty regarding where their produce is sold. Kudler should consider the fact that a contract is a legally binding agreement between themselves and the local growers of organic growers; and should not be treated lightly (Barnes et al, 2003, p 222)."

Territory Management, 2006.
A review of Kudler Fine Foods and territory management.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper takes a look at Kudler Fine Foods and their use of territory management policies. According to the paper, Kudler Fine Foods is about to launch a new product and in order to make it a successful launch, the company needs full participation of its staff. The paper further discusses effective incentive management as an integral part of territory management.
From the Paper
"Territory management plan must also include time management plan. There is no point in achieving a given target four months after the due date. If the firm makes it clear that there is a timeframe in which work needs to be done then it will be easier to motivate the sales force to achieve more. Time management is extremely important for Kudler Foods because it is introducing a new product line which is a perishable good. This means it must sell within a certain time period and for this reason sales staff must be given a clear time frame in which to achieve various sales targets. Time management is important also because it tells the sales staff where they need to spend more time and energy. For example Kudler is an up-market brand name which means that people living in certain affluent areas are more likely to purchase its salads than those living in low income areas. For this reason, while it might not hurt to try to gain a market in other areas, it would be utterly useless to spend as much time in these places as they are spending in target customers' areas. Therefore time management plays a very significant role as Rick Phillips, president of Phillips Sales and Staff Development (PSSD) explains"

From the Paper
"Before the sales plan is written down, it is important for Kudler's sales staff to identify their target market. This will save time since they will be spending more energy and time in acquiring business from this section of the market. A concerted effort in any area pays off. And this is exactly what the team has to understand. Focus on the target market while spreading your wings to other potential markets."
"Identification of target market is based on many things including the image and pricing of the product. If the new product is relatively expensive, it is more likely to be consumed by higher income groups but that is not a hard and fast rule a lot depends on the type of product that is being introduced and also on the price of similar goods available in the market."

It is true that most organic farmers are environmentally health and socially conscious ... "
