now put that to real life - coke sells products to mr. A's store, one store in a ok location, sells $500 dollars a week of coke.
- coke sells porducts to mr. 7-11 store, they have many locations and sell $25000 dollars a week of coke.
each store makes the same VALUE from the coke - called profit - both make $1 dollar per sale, mr. A's store sells the coke for $1.50 per bottle, and mr. 7-11's store sells the same size, same bottle for $1.25 per bottle. they both have the same sales person.
Question:
#1) how can one store sell it for less and still make the same profit? (are they getting some sort of kick back? HINT: in this industry it is called "PAY TO STAY")
#2) why would coke give a benifit to one store over another? (could it be that a store that invested more in to coke, got more of coke's attention?)
#3) if the sales person had 10 shirts who should he give them to? all to store mr. A's store? all to mr.7-11's store? or split it up some how, like having an incentive? maybe 2 to mr.A's store and 8 to mr.7-11s store.
#4) how would giving a benifit help coke?(i mean after all each store got there moneys worth-correct?) by taking care of any GOOD customer? by making the customer feel appricated?
