The department chain you work for has had numerous complaints about slow customer service. your colleague, a sales manager, informs you that this happened at a previous store she worked for, and it was cleared up by hiring more sales representatives. should you take her advice? why not? what techniques can you use in evaluating the problem?

The advice of sales representative is correct to some extent because one of the reason of slow customer service can be due a lot of customers and small number of sales representatives. But there can be other problem like sales representatives are not trained well to deal with a large number of customers lack of expertise is one the reason plus their motivation can be a reason meaning that they are not paid enough. I don't think so that her advice should be taken because the cause of this is not clear and more valid cause is training of employees and their motivation. Firstly we should know the reason for slow customer service for which we should ask customers by giving them a questionnaire.Second is the cause is lack of expertise so training should be given and if cause is motivation then there should be a pay rise or job rotation, enrichment and enlargement.
