Sales Rep Management in Djibouti
The short answer
Managing sales reps rests on three measurable things rather than impressions: what each rep sold, how much they collected against receivables, and where they were during the working day. The system gives each rep explicit permissions — which customers they see, whether they may sell on credit or cash only, and whether they may sell below list price and up to what maximum discount — turning control from personal supervision into a rule applied automatically to every invoice. Rep performance in Djibouti is measured by sales and collection in Djiboutian Franc (DJF) against a stated target, not by hours spent on the road.

Rep management and permissions
