This document discusses applications of Theory of Constraints (TOC) to sales management for small and medium businesses. It begins by listing common undesirable effects (UDEs) seen in organizations such as frustration, a "cover your rear" mentality, and arbitrary performance evaluations. It then analyzes these UDEs using TOC's Core Reasoning Technique to identify their root causes. Some key causes identified include lack of clear sales processes, overloading of salespeople with multiple tasks, and use of monthly/quarterly quotas that incentivize rushing deals at the end of periods. The document proposes applying TOC's five focusing steps to improve the sales process and management, such as identifying and exploiting constraints like needs assessments.
