MKTG 430 Fall 2015 Shadowing Assignment Instructions
This assignment is to spend “a day” with a salesperson as he or she does his or her regular job.
Students must find the salesperson and obtain her/his permission to shadow her/him for the day.
Given the variety of activities involved in a career in sales, it will be impossible for all students to have a
uniform experience.
The goal is to spend time with a salesperson and observe them while interacting with customers.
Do not spend the day with someone that is only entertaining customers, such as taking them golfing.
SHADOWING ASSIGNMENT REFLECTION PAPER
After the shadowing day, write a paper about the experience. Report the activities you witnessed and
how they relate to this class. What did you see that is like the material in the courses? What was different?
What do you understand now as a result of this experience that you did not know before? The paper should be
between 6 and 10 pages long, excluding the cover page, double spaced, 1” margins, 12 point, Times New
Roman font. The report is due on December 2, 2015, uploaded to Canvas as a Word document.
The shadowing assignment is to allow you to gain perspective about what salespeople actually do in
their daily jobs. Ideally you will be able to observe a salesperson calling on a customer in person. The paper is
to report your experience and relate it to what you have learned in class. Your paper should contain the
following information.

Analysis of the sales calls or customer interaction:

indicated below. Did the sales person appear to follow the selling process as laid out in the text? Explain or
describe how the process was followed or not followed. For example, describe how/if the salesperson:
Prepared for the customer visit?
Got the customers attention?
Asked open-ended questions to determine the customer’s wants and dominant buying urge?
Presented or offered a solution to the customer?
Handled objections by presenting value-based solutions, then encouraged customers to purchase?
Completed the sale in a way that should lead to a continuation of business?
Assess your experience:
Your assessment should be specific to the context of your experience. You should provide your opinion
of the salesperson (good, medium, bad), your perception of their relationship with their customers, and how you
would handle the selling process and customers if you were in the salesperson’s position. You should discuss
what you learned about selling that you did not know before the shadowing experience.
