In fuzzy environments, operations with imprecise data are so important in terms of decision making. Fuzzy TOPSIS Algorithm is a multiple criteria decision making tool. This method supports group decision making and evaluation of quantitative and qualitative criterias simultaneously. In the study, a firm\u2019s salesperson selection process is analyzed. This firm has 17 sale stores with high, medium and low concept levels in Turkey\u2019s various regions. Trapezoidal fuzzy numbers used for more sensitive decision making.
