Dear Students,
We are thrilled to announce an upcoming event that marks a significant step towards shaping the future of sales education. As part of the CUSTMAS project (https://www.custmas.eu/), we are hosting a two-day event in Athens on Oct 2 and 3, 2024, dedicated to the development of a cutting-edge MSc Program focused on Selling and Sales Management in Digitalized B2B Markets.
Firms using a direct selling (DS) distribution channel delegate selling and sales management responsibilities to an independent-contractor distributor force. The DS firm’s inability to directly control distributors’ efforts, and the fact that most active distributors choose to work part-time rather than full-time at their DS business, makes an examination of the drivers of DS performance outcomes important for academic study and managerial insight.
