Reps who turn up in your newsagency without an appointment can take up valuable time. My advice is – no appointment, no meeting. They soon get the message.
While some people like the interruption of a rep visit or the free coffee that could come from listening to them in a nearby cafe, the reality is many rep visits are a waste of time.
Any visit ought to run to a set time, have a specific goal and be at a time you approve. Otherwise it could cost you more than it should.
