You’re walking into a high-volume retail account, the morning rush is beginning, and you have exactly eight minutes to conduct a professional audit before the manager becomes occupied. In the world of field sales, the "call" is a high-speed intelligence gathering event. If you don't have a structured system to record the REX markup versus the competitor's markup or the specific Cycle Questions, you are conducting a visit, but you aren't conducting business.

The Philosophy of Field Intelligence

The "Richland Express Call Sheet" is designed for the professional field representative who manages accounts across diverse regions, from METRO 1 to COUNTRY 3. It moves your CRM from a static list of names to a dynamic tactical report. By standardizing the capture of the Account Number and the Week Cycle #, the system ensures that every visit is anchored in a professional schedule. It acknowledges that in retail sales, your value is found in your ability to identify Pricing Parity and ensure Compliance to Agreement before the competition does.

The Blueprint: Audit and Action Architecture

The structure of this library is built to handle the simultaneous requirements of sales auditing and customer service.

  • Financial Intelligence: Fields for Pricing Parity capture the percentage markup of your products versus the competition. This data is the foundation of your regional pricing strategy and allows for data-backed negotiations with store owners.
  • Operational Triage: The Action in stores multichoice field—tracking everything from a Sale and Swap to a Merchandise call—provides a real-time record of your field activity.
  • The Customer Pulse: Tracking the Customer Service Rating and specific Field Rep Comments creates a historical narrative of the account's health.

Bridging the Field and the Head Office

A primary challenge in field sales is the "communication lag" between the store floor and the home office. This template provides a direct bridge via the Comments (to action at Head Office) field. Whether it’s a request for a new display or a notification of a billing issue, the data is captured at the source. This ensures that administrative concerns are prioritized and resolved weekly, allowing the field representative to focus on the next Sale rather than chasing previous paperwork.
