PharmRX Training Woes

In this assignment, you will read and respond to the following case study in a 3-4 page paper. The requirements for the paper can be found below.

Case Study:
It was the ?rst day of PharmRX sales-training meeting at its Tulsa of?ce. The company's 25 salespeople talked excitedly during breakfast about the upcoming events: a few rounds of golf, some fishing at Grand Lake, and an awards dinner, at which the annual incentive contest winners would be announced.

At 7:45 a.m., the salespeople met in the designated meeting room. The reps took their seats, and at 8 a.m. sharp, their instructor, Sam Sellers, walked in and began the session. Five hours later the salespeople emerged and met for lunch. They were soon joined by the sales manager, Linda Spencer who had attended the sales training conducted by the same company. The moment they sat down, the reps' ranting began: "This was the worst training I've ever attended." "It was tedious." "I could've learned more in my sleep." The reps were so angry that they didn't want to sit through the two remaining sessions. "Ten more hours would be pure torture," one salesperson insisted.

Spencer suggested to the reps that they focus on enjoying that afternoon's activity and said she would have a resolution by the time she rejoined them for dinner. Spencer didn't want this meeting to be a bust; she also didn't want to squander the company's investment in the sales meeting and training sessions.

• What steps should Spencer take to resolve the situation? (Canceling the remaining sessions is not an option.)
• How can Spencer avoid this situation in the future?
