Improved manufacturing conditions are the supporting strand for this surge.

As a result, the competition is getting tougher day by day and the companies are ascertaining new business strategies to entice customers.

Owing to which, many sales representatives sell products effortlessly by diving down in the product deets while the small size of sales representatives is ineffective to sell the product at all. The cause of the poor performance of the latter half is the lack of product knowledge, as a result, the sales representatives remain inefficient and in turn, are not able to sell the product.

There can be other hidden factors that are augmenting the sales figures of the competitors.
To ascertain the cause, a company needs to know the market competition and timely invest in the market strategies. Further, it should take the customer feedback to perceive the customer response for its product.
