Servicing a "long tail" of customers with a large SKU range represents a huge challenge for sales reps in terms of investing time in the right areas. Imagine you're a sales rep working in the wine industry. You have hundreds of licensed premises in your territory and knowing who is best to call on and what to talk about, beyond your specials this month, is a massively difficult thing to figure out. In Australia, the average restaurant or licensed premise has 30 different alcohol sales reps calling every month, let alone all the other suppliers competing for their 'share of wallet'. Hundreds of sales people banging away at them... no wonder it is so difficult to get cut-though as a sale person!
