Interpersonal influences and organizational factors.

Explanation:

Interpersonal influences are those that include interests, status, and authority in an organization. It should be included in the approach for the potential new buyer to recognize the lead authorities and the interests of who might be their new supplier. It is also imperative that the marketing director include organizational factors, objectives, policies, and organizational processes in the approach to influence purchasing, as these factors are key to demonstrating credibility and viability for the new buyer.
