5. McMurry & Arnod’s Classification
The research of American industrial psychologist, Robert N.
McMurry, showed that a 'true' salesman should not sell
anything to anybody. McMurry first published the notion of
different types of sales tasks in 1961. "Each type of sales
work requires its own unique configuration of traits,
attributes and qualities in its practitioner."To build a
productive sales force, the manager first needs to assess the
category of sales. McMurry classified selling positions into six
categories based on the required level of a seller's
negotiating ability.
7. MAINLY DELIVERY
This type of salesperson requires few sales-related negotiation
skills. Continued sales are more likely to come from a pleasant
attitude and good service.
INSIDE ORDERTAKER
The salesperson's task is primarily administrative and provides
little opportunity for selling.Customers have usually made up
their minds by this stage so the sales process consists of
completing the order and offering advice only when asked.
8. OUTSIDE ORDERTAKER
Similar to the inside order taker, but here the salesperson visits regular
customers on a regular basis. Most negotiation is conducted at higher
hierarchical levels so the salesperson must simply service the account.This
type of sales occasionally includes merchandising activity or introducing
and demonstrating new products
MISSIONARY SELLING
The salesperson is expected to build goodwill, educate and ultimately
influence the actual or potential user rather than only solicit orders.
Sales personnel also carry out occasional service work as well as
promotional activities
9. TECHNICAL SELLING
The salesperson's task of explaining the function of a product to a
prospect and adapting it to individual customer needs is basic to this
type of selling. 'Sales engineers' use their expert knowledge of product
capabilities and design during commercial negotiations. Their
counterparts on the buying side are also often technically savvy in order
to provide counterweight.
CREATIVE SELLING
Creative selling tends to require the greatest sales 'skills'. Customers
often do not realise that they have a 'need' for certain product or
service. The creative salesperson needs to demonstrate and convince the
buyer of this need through effective communication as illustrated by a new
type of production line that will reduce a company's operating cost level.
11. Trade Selling

new products and taking order for existing product line
New business selling

there is very little repeat business. they operate by calling entirely new
customers and selling from scratch
12. Consumer Indirect Selling
The sale of a good or service by a third-party, such as a partner or affiliate,
rather than a company's personnel. Indirect sales may be used in conjunction
with a company's direct sales efforts or may be used in lieu of hiring. Indirect
sales are often made through resellers, such as specialty stores and big box
retailers.
