Could anyone help me to using the hint in a correct way to find the data faster
I am using the hint as
SELECT /*+ DISTINCT A.GLOBAL_SALES_REP_ID, B.PRIMARY_SALES_REP */
FROM SOES_CUSTOMER_ACCT A, CUSTOMER_ACCT B
WHERE A.PRIMARY_SALES_REP=B.PRIMARY_SALES_REP
A.GLOBAL_SALES_REP_ID='CP03'

Distinct is a sql keyword, and not (to my knowledge) a hint.
Also, distinct will make things run slower in exchange for producing unique results among the combination of columns in the select list.
For general advice on performance tuning, see the sticky.

Hints should be used only as a last resort. Have you explored other avenues of tuning first? Is there an index? Is it being used? How long does this query take to run? What's the size of these two tables? What do your wait events indicate that your query is waiting for? Does this query involve a database link? What does tkprof indicate?
