Another reason personal selling is the most effective promotional tools in marketing consumer product is that it minimize wasted effort, most of the cost detected to sending the message to the generality of the people prospect and non- prospect. Lastly, personal selling results in actual sales, in most cases, personal selling rests into actual sales unlike any other promotion tools such as advertising, sales promotion and publicity which can only attract attention and arose desire but they do not usually arose buying action complete the sales by transferring titles. It can also be seen that personal selling permits more precise customers tagging than any other promotional tools, therefore, personal selling has been accepted as the most appropriate method for selling of individual product.

5.3 Recommendation

The research is oriented on personal selling as an effective promotional selling in marketing of consumer product. The recommendation will be based on a finding and how personal selling can be intensified for effective use, the recommendation are as follows.

Firstly, personal selling has been generally accepted as an effective promotional means at selling consumer products. Personal selling should be integrated with mix such as advertisement, sales promotion and publicity.
These other tools will enhance the effect of personal selling by preparing ground for sales person.

Secondly, marketing manager should focus on their recruitment exercise more on those candidates with some science and related course in addition to their marketing qualification because this will reduce the number of employee sent on course or training, therefore, reducing the amount of money the company will spend on training and course because there will be enough expertise, professional and knowledge employee in the company.

Thirdly, incentive should be added to the salary of the sales person to induce or serve as the motivation factor to the employee. For example, commission can also be added to the additional sales by the sales person.

Another recommendation is that the company, that Unilever Nigeria Plc and there detergent should increase or create additional depots that will serve the whole 36 states and federal capital territory effectively and efficiently to the already depots.
