Representatives calling on Military accounts)
Effective April 1,1996 new Military Exchange Shelf and Pack Contracts will be impiemented., Also

Sales Representatives calling on Military accounts. As noted above the revised section will be

Headquarters for approval. In the near future, the Military/Duty Free National Accounts Manager will
provide authorization bulletins, and Instructions, for follow through at store level, No action

greatly assist In the impiementation of these plans at store level. As a reminder, when the new
plans
are sold a Form 7101 must be submitted to the ROU Coordinator for processing.

y SMS Orderina Procedures for WINSTON/CAMEL Workplan POS Order Form
FSC-61-A
3/27/g6
Page 2
As follow-up to FSC-53-A, the following are instructions for ordering WINSTON/CAMEL thematic
POS via SMS for the July changeover.
Function 401 is the screen in SMS to place territory assignment orders of thematic '
CAMEL/WINSTON workplan POS.
The 401 screen in SMS will list items/descriptions in the same order they appear on the hard copy
document given to Retail/Sales Representative. The item numbers are in the exact same
sequence to expedite your entry.
- A territory number must be entered to process order.
- At least one item must contain a quantity.
- Enter all quantities before pressing PF4 to continue.
- Once PF4 is entered, order entry Is Identical to existing order entry process In SMS.
Because we are using the same item numbers as the March workplan POS items, It Is Imperative
that regions do not begin order entry using Function 401 until May 1, 1996. If entries are placed
prior to May 1, this will result in incorrect kits for the July changeover. Please complete entry by
May
6, 1996.

To all those participating in the DORAL Personal Selling Program, this is a reminder to fax your
store
lists in by APRIL 1. We will begin training conversion agents April 2 and need the store list to
give
them at training. Please fax to Melanie Barbee at 910-741-3002.
Several have asked how to handle stores that may be outside the 50 mile radius we asked you to
consider. Our objective is to maximize the time our agents spend in the store and minimize the time
he/she spends driving. The agent works seven hours a day only. For areas that are significant
distances apart, please consider working one area in Phase I and the second area in Phase II. We
will then hire two different agents, rather that have the one work both phases. There will only be
one
agent/per division/per phase.
