Cost center studies should include programs which help the salesman to keep his selling costs at minimum levels and enable him to make the maximum contribution to profits of which he is capable. Equally important in implementing the cost center concepts are value analyses which accurately apprise the marketing team of the results being obtained from dollars spent for advertising, sales promotion, technical literature, and related aids.

Do not ignore quality-of-life issues. The quality of life at selected facility locations has a significant impact on performance because it influences the available workforce and its morale. In many instances, a firm may be better off selecting a higher-cost location if it provides a much better quality of life. Failure to do so can have dire consequences. For example, an aerospace supplier decided to relocate an entire division to an area with a lower standard of living in order to reduce costs. Most of the marketing team, however, refused to relocate. As a result, customer relations deteriorated, and the company had a very difficult transition. The effort to save costs hurt the company and effectively curtailed the firm s status as a major player in its market (Harding, 1988).
