Pringles is planning their sales force spending for the next year. Each of their sales people spends about 3400 hours annually actually selling the product. Pringles has 40,000 retail customers. Considering that the sales people call on each of their customers on a weekly basis and they spend an average of 45 minutes on each sales call, how many sales people does Pringles need?

459 sales people.

Step-by-step explanation

Time per call (t) = 45 min = 0.75 h

Hours per sales person (H) = 3,400 hours

Number of customers (n) = 40,000 customers

Call frequency (f)= 52 calls per year

The total number of sales people (S) needed, is given by the total time spent on calls for the year, divided by the amount of hours each person spends on sale:

Rounding up to the next whole person, Pringles needs 459 sales people.
