"Managing the sales and distribution should focus on 'having the cake and eating it too.' In other words, the approach should focus not only gaining short-term business but also ensuring long-term sustainability of a business. This book, focusing on integrating marketing and selling, provides a long-term orientation to the sales and distribution management. Therefore, the book builds frameworks for various decisions of sales and distribution management which synchronize the short-term selling orientation to the long-term marketing orientation."
