As the market opens, competition increases. At this stage, one of the key strategic issues to stay competitive in the market is the highlymotivated sales force. The objective of this research study is to discover the motivation practice of the management of the commercial industrial trading companies in Cambodia, and to find out what make best motivators for the sales representatives in the industry.

While others do not even think of how to motivate the people motivation believing people are paid to do their job.
