This is the considered opinion of Mr. F. W. Goodenough, president of the Incorporated Sales Mana- gers' Association, and chairman of the tribunal af business' mon set up in October 1928 by the Presid ent of the Board of Education "to consider the problem of education for salesmanship.”
He discussed with a Prem repre- sentative the serious commentary on British selling methods abroad that has been made by his committee in an interim report.
The report is in no sense a dis couragement to manufacturers, but it is better to face the truth and have what is wrong put right as soon as possible," said Mr. Good- enough.
Brains As Good As Any." "Our brains are as good as any, and must be applied to the pro- blems that confront our export trade. There is not enough first- class salesmanship.
"We need better salesmen-better trained and better paid.
"Manufacturers and merchants cannot have a good representative any more than a good article, un- less they are prepared to pay a good price.
"Many of the heads of houses do not realise the importance of sales- manship. They themselves have been specially trained, in many cases, for the manufacturing sidé, "They have perhaps gone through an engineering course, at one of the universities, and have studied the problems of production, but they forget there is as much know-
