Sales management
7.5 ECTS creditsThe strategic importance of sales management in industrial marketing is described and discussed in the course, with a special focus on the differences between various goals, objectives, sales processes, roles, relations, contracts, instruments, and approaches in different sales situations. Discussions focus on central theories, concepts, methods, and models in sales management and how these are used both in research and in practice to describe, categorise, and analyse how companies manage and work with sales. There is an emphasis throughout the course on the significance of sales management for the value creation that takes place in the interaction between a company and its customers, and a special emphasis on ways in which the sales of a company develop when it moves from selling goods to offering services and solutions, and on ways in which legal and ethical factors can influence and be handled in different sales situations.
