When planning an expansion in the sales department, what should you consider and how do you determine if the expansion is executable?

Determine your current stress level (attention and focus  are require to see if the current business has potential to expand). Capacity to finance the expansion ( capital), And the availability of technology that can surely support  the expansion. Develop a new sale plan, and explore new market area. The plan could be executable if these factors of consideration followed and available.

to have a sales expansion  we need to consider :

1- Product or service  market  need / acceptance: 

2- Team readiness and capabilities: sometimes the team might delay any expansion if not trained well for such  step.

3- budget of investment to get the sales expansion results needed.

based on the above three points and some market statistics we put the marketing plan to execute the  sales expansion process . with right elements , management and  data all works 

Market growth or confident of creating a market. These are the potential that needs to be determined, analysed for sustainability over the expansion.

Biggest consideration is how much money you can spend on marketing to improve sales

1. Prepare the most suitable Human Resource inputs in order to move expansion

2. Seriously a research and work study based on Matrics like Swot

3. Accessibility and situation of the place of expansion

4. Since we presume Sales Dept already in place, what are new prepositions that 

   the products should carry to meet surge of sales

5. CFO SHOLD REPORT THE FINDING OF THE RESEARCH ANALYSIS TO SUBMIT THE BOARD PAPPER FOR IMPLEMENTATION

Thanks for invitation,

I do believe that, to plan for an expansion in the sales department,  you will be in need also some deeply coordination with all other organization's activities for considering their plans for parallel expansion too.

the consumers appetite to spend. It also depends on what kind of product. 

Without expanding planning especially in sales department it is not possible to execute and we will determine effectively and efficiently.

Thanks
