Introduction

Effective resource management is essential for any organization to ensure sustainability and growth. The sales and support staff are critical components that drive revenue generation and ensure customer satisfaction. This document seeks to analyze the needs for sales and support staff across different product lines and store locations based on provided revenue figures and growth percentages. Additionally, an action plan for each scenario will be proposed.

Part 1: Product Line Analysis

1.1 Product Line A, B, and C Revenue Analysis

Given Data:
- Product Revenue 2018: A - ,800,000, B - ,600,000, C - ,200,000
- Growth %: A - 22%, B - 238%, C - -10%
- Sales Staff: A - 5, B - ?, C - 22
- Support Staff: A - 2, B - ?, C - 24
Calculating Required Staff:
To estimate staff requirements for Product Lines A and B for 2019, we must analyze the growth and adjust accordingly. Assuming the average productivity ratio of sales staff to revenue holds similarly across the product lines, let's calculate:
1. Revenue Projections for 2019:
- Revenue A (2019) = ,800,000 * 1.22 =

,196,000
- Revenue B (2019) = ,600,000 * 3.38 = ,408,000
- Revenue C (2019) remains ,200,000
2. Sales Staff Needs:
- Ratio for A = 2,196,000 / 360,000 (approx. based on current revenue per sales staff) = 6 staff approx.
- For B = 5,408,000 / 360,000 = 15 staff approx.
- Total Sales Staff = 6 + 15 + 22 = 43
3. Support Staff Needs:
- Ratio for A = 2,196,000 / 180,000 (approx.) = 6 staff
- For B = 5,408,000 / 180,000 = 30 staff
- For C = 5,200,000 / 180,000 = 29 staff
- Total Support Staff = 6 + 30 + 29 = 65

Action Plan:

To meet the expected demand for sales and support, recruitment and training efforts should be initiated. Moreover, a performance assessment of existing staff can identify those who can be assigned to the more robust sales territories.

Part 2: Store Location Analysis

2.1 Store Locations: Orange County, Pasadena, and Malibu

Given Data:
- Orange County Revenue 2018: ,800,000
- Pasadena Revenue 2018: ,600,000
- Malibu Revenue 2018: ,200,000
- Growth %: OC (22%), Pasadena (238%), Malibu (-10%)
- Sales Staff OC: 8, Pasadena: ?, Malibu: 12
- Support Staff OC: 3, Pasadena: ?, Malibu: 6
Following through the calculations analogous to the previous section leads us to:
1. Revenue Projections for 2019:
- OC: ,800,000 * 1.22 =

,196,000
- Pasadena: ,600,000 * 3.38 = ,408,000
- Malibu: ,200,000 remains.
2. Staff Needs:
- Total Sales Staff: 6 (OC) + 15 (Pasadena) + 30 (Malibu) = 51
- Total Support Staff: 6 + 30 + 29 = 65

Action Plan:

Recruit sales staff where necessary, and attempt cross-training for existing personnel. Offering incentives for excellent staff to maintain high customer satisfaction can also be integral to achieving growth targets.

Conclusion

Analyzing the total sales and support staff requirements across differing product lines and store locations can enable better resource allocation. Stakeholders must monitor market conditions, staff performance, and customer feedback on an ongoing basis to adapt effectively.
