Conduct Code For Salesmen
A meeting was held in Auckland last week to establish a code of conduct and raise the standard of ethics for salesmen and saleswomen. Sufficient signatures were obtained to form a society and a chairman and committee were appointed to draw up a constitution and a set of rules.
Mr I. J. Davies, an Auckland training director, urged the 70 salespeople present “to expose themselves to personal development training and not become victims of the machine age. Automation may record the results and direct production, but it takes at least a little lip work to close the sale,” he said. Mr Davies called on the meeting to establish the nation's newest pressure group—a protest movement against the way salesmen were stereotyped in the newspapers and on television. A steering committee decided that the new society should immediately call meetings in Christchurch and other centres.
