Salespeople at Nkanyezi Motors have been failing to reach their sales target since
Covid-19 hit the globe in 2020. This was caused by the long lockdown which
prohibited potential clients to come personally to view cars. Because these
salespeople have no knowledge of other marketing strategies, their performance is
not improving at all. The organisation decided to enroll the salespeople for a short
course in marketing, especially digital marketing. Another decision taken is to
recruit only people with skills in digital marketing in order to anticipate such a need
in the future.

in marketing, especially digital marketing shows a relationship between

a. Recruitment and selection
b.

c.
Career development
d.
