Salespeople need to possess effective trust-based sales communications skills so that they:
Olegator [25]
Hey there!

For salespeople, its all about relationships and conversations and relationships with people. If you're good friends with someone from your consuming company, you can expect to make good sales as they are acquaintances and would want to buy things from people who they can trust.

Therefore, if you can develop friendships and trust with people from the company who would buy from you, they might just accidentally or purposely let you in on secrets from their company that would maximize sales- and that's always the goal of a salesperson.

Hope this helps!

You are considering investing in a project with the following possible outcomes: Probability of Investment States Occurrence Ret
frutty [35]

Answer:

SD = 0.0740270 or 7.40270 percent rounded off to 7.403 percent

Explanation:

To calculate the standard deviation of the investment, we must first calculate the expected or mean return of the investment. The expected or mean return can be calculated as follows,

r = pA * rA  +  pB * rB  +  ...  +  pN * rN

Where,

  • pA, pB, ... represents the probability of state occurrence
  • rA, rB, ... represents return A, return B and so on  under each state

r = 0.2 * 0.16  +  0.4 * 0.12  +  0.2 * 0.05  +  0.2 * -0.05

r = 0.08 or 8%

The formula to calculate the standard deviation of a stock/investment is as follows,

SD = √pA * (rA - r)²  +  pB * (rB - r)²  +  ...  +  pN * (rN - r)²

SD = √0.2 * (0.16 - 0.08)²  +  0.4 * (0.12 - 0.08)²  +  0.2 * (0.05 - 0.08)²  +  0.2 * (-0.05 - 0.08)²

SD = 0.0740270 or 7.40270 percent rounded off to 7.403 percent

OleMash [197]

Answer:

<u>Scholarship Amount would be $45.68</u>

Explanation:

Deposits into an endowment account that pays 12% per year

Year 0 Deposit $100

Year 1 Deposit $90

Year 2 Deposit $80

Year 3 Deposit $70

Year 4 Deposit $60

Year 5 Deposit $50

Year 6 Deposit $40  

First find the present worth of the gradient deposits.  

P = 100 + 90(P/A, 12%, 6) - 10(P/G, 12%, 6) = $380.69  

A = 380.69 (0.12)

A= $45.68
