Question 1
A Swiss commercial sales manager plans the annual field sales capacity for a territory. A standard calendar year has 250 gross working days (Monday–Friday). The field representative is entitled to 25 vacation days, 10 official public holidays, an average of 5 days of illness/contingency, 10 days of professional training, and 20 days dedicated to internal office administration and sales meetings. How many net field working days (Netto-Aussendiensttage) are available for customer visits?
Correct Answer:
180 days
Question 2
A field sales representative has 180 net field days per year and works an 8-hour workday. On average, a customer visit takes 1.5 hours on-site plus 1.0 hour of travel and route time (total 2.5 hours per visit). How many customer visits can this representative conduct annually?
Correct Answer:
576 visits
Question 3
A Swiss B2B machinery distributor segments its market into 3 customer tiers: 50 Tier-A customers needing 12 visits/year, 150 Tier-B customers needing 6 visits/year, and 300 Tier-C customers needing 7 visits/year. If a full-time field sales representative can perform exactly 600 visits per year, how many sales representatives are required to cover the market?
Correct Answer:
6 representatives
Question 4
In strategic sales planning, what is the primary structural difference between pure turnover (Umsatz) planning and contribution margin (Deckungsbeitrag) planning?
Correct Answer:
Turnover planning tracks top-line volume regardless of product profitability, whereas contribution margin planning ensures sales efforts prioritize products that cover overhead and generate operating profit.
Question 5
When designing and balancing sales territories across Switzerland, which criterion is most critical for ensuring equitable sales workload and fair bonus compensation among field representatives?
Correct Answer:
Balancing the territories based on comparable market potential (Marktpotenzial) and required customer visit workload rather than physical land area.
