A better knowledge of the agents and their behavior is required, particularly to support decisions related to the company's business strategy and to manage a better relationship with distributors. Such knowledge can be obtained by classifying agents based on their behavior through historical data, such as the sale and purchase transaction data. One approach that can be done is a segmentation approach can be done by dividing the agents into several segments. In this paper, Data Mining techniques i.e. K-means clustering method is exploredto classify sales agents.
