    Global Events Demand Global Data: COVID-19 Crisis Responses and the Future of Selling and Sales Management Around the Globe
    (2024) Rouziou, Maria; Bolander, Willy; Karen Peesker; Hautamäki, Pia; Rangarajan, Deva; Samaraweera, Manoshi; Bullemore, Jorge; Klein, Michel; Agnihotr, Raj; Jensen, Karina Burgdorff; Fournier, Christophe; DANNY PIMENTEL CLARO; Gonzalez, Gabriel R.; Guenzi, Paolo; Kadić-Maglajlić, Selma; Lai-Bennejean, Christine; Palomino-Tamayo, Walter; Ryals, Lynette; CARLA SOFIA DIAS MOREIRA RAMOS; Salas, Jim; Shi, Huanhuan; Squire, Philip; Westphal, Jörg
    In the context of the global crisis presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the authors investigate the perspectives of sales managers regarding their organizations’ responses to the crisis and future expectations in a post-COVID-19 world. While there has been much discussion about these topics in the sales literature, very little research has examined them globally by collecting data from many nations and across many continents. Yet, how can global events be understood without analyzing global data? In response, the authors convened the first, to their knowledge, global data coalition by hosting video-recorded group interviews with 76 sales executives representing 27 nations. This inductive investigation, informed by institutional logics, reveals how organizations accepted new norms, retained old ones, or blended the old with the new in response to the crisis. The results simultaneously validate certain emerging concepts on a global scale (e.g., customer success management, bricolage) and give rise to several insights not currently detailed by extant scholarship (e.g., localization, cultural cringe). This work also catalyzes new, relevant avenues for international research and sheds light on issues facing sales practice globally.

    Sales compensation plan type and sales opportunity coverage: “Double-edged” sword effects on sales performance
    (2023) DANNY PIMENTEL CLARO; Plouffe, Christopher R.; Vieira, Valter Afonso
    Sales compensation plans affect salespeople's prospecting activity and sales opportunity coverage because they shape behavior in terms of how reps manage their territory and broader portfolio of customers. Drawing on goal-setting theory, the authors propose and test a theoretical framework which unearths a “double-edged” sword moderating effect whereby the number of pursued sales opportunities impacts the main effect of sales compensation plan type on resultant sales (performance). The reported empirical study examines salesperson data prior to and after the implementation of a new compensation plan. We then utilize the metaphor of the “double-edged” sword to further explicate the findings, whereby the volume of sales opportunities is found to moderate sales goal and quota achievement (i.e., amplifying the main effect). The research also finds that pursuit of too many sales opportunities can become overly burdensome, thereby overloading salespeople and reducing goal commitment and performance. Implications for both research and practice are discussed.
