Inhalte (short description):
The class is taught by our guest professor Prof. James A. Eckert, Ph.D., from Western Michigan University (USA). Contrary to many predictions, the sales function has not disappeared with the advent of modern B2B web and information sharing capabilities. In fact it is becoming increasing clear that the selling function is becoming even more important in a world where buying and selling information has become much more transparent, making the buy-sell interactions and the ensuing relationships even more important to both firms' success. Thus, in the world of B2B Marketing, the sales function is still key. However, the emphasis has changed. We now see a world where the salesperson is charged with being an adaptive, relationship builder, not a transaction creator. This course will delve into that world. Specifically, this course will have two components: (1) a theoretical review of key sales management material as it relates to adaptive, relationship focused selling, and (2) a corporate style sales training approach designed to allow students to build the practical selling and communication skills necessary to function as an adaptive, relationship focused salesperson. This course will involve reading, lectures, discussions, exams, and interactive exercises such as role-plays and cases.
