Career Development Plan Part I - Job Analysis and Selection
According to upper management the merger of InterClean, Inc. and EnviroTech is about to take place and with that there will be more responsibilities the sales department will have to handle. InterClean take pride into our company and like David Spencer, CEO of InterClean stated in his memo the sales team will be going into a new direction:

Solutions-based selling will require our sales force to be more knowledgeable about emerging issues in sanitation, environmental regulation of cleaning and cleaning systems, and OSHA standards. Instead of merely knowing how a product works, they will need to understand the legal, environmental, safety, ethical and regulatory issues that affect sanitation and cleaning in varied industries and settings. They’ll need to develop customized packages of cleaning solutions and systems -- not just a patchwork of tools and services -- which include products and processes that meet our clients’ needs. Finally, since our clients themselves may need staff education and training, our sales force must become conversant in the language of each client's industry as it relates to cleaning and sanitation.
