본 논문은 판매원의 경험에 따라 임금이 최적 임금이 어떻게 변화하는 지에 대하여 고찰하였다. 판매원의 경험이 판매 성과에 미치는 영향이 크지 않은 경우를 가정한 기존 논문과 달리, 우리는 판매원의 적정 수준 이상의 경험이 판매원의 업무 능력에 필수적인 환경에서, 판매에 따르는 인센티브 보상제도가 항상 최적이 아님을 밝혀냈다. 이 결과는 기존 논문들에서 다루어지지 않은 현상일 뿐 아니라, 현업에서 드물지 않게 관찰되는 임금 보상 제도를 설명한다.

과거에는 대기업과 중소기업의 제품 간에는 품질뿐만 아니라 제품 구매 후 제품 서비스에도 큰 차이가 났다. 이러한 요소들은 많은 소비자들이 제품을 구매할 때, 브랜드 가치를 고려하는 주된 이유였다. 그러나 시간이 지남에 따라 대기업과 중소기업 간의 기술력 및 서비스의 차이가 많이 줄어들면서, 브랜드 자체보다는 누가 소비자의 욕구를 충족시키는 가치를 선점하는지에 따라 경쟁 우위가 바뀌었다. 이에 따라 소비자를 만족시킬 수 있는 다양한 전략이 연구되고 있으며, 최근까지 연구자들이 판매행동과 관련하여 다루었던 주요 개념은 적응 판매이다. 본 연구의 목적은 판매원의 적응적 판매 전략이 중소기업 제품을 구매하는 소비자들에게 미치는 영향에 대해 규명하고자 하였다. 특히, 판매원의 적응적 판매 전략이 소비자의 쇼핑 가치, 판매원과의 결속 및 소비자 제품 만족도에 미치는 영향을 파악하였다. 연구대상은 판매원을 통해 중소기업 제품 구매 경험이 있는 경남지역 소비자를 대상으로 설문 조사를 실시하였으며, 분석도구로는 SPSS 21.0을 사용하였으며, AMOS 21.0을 사용하여 구조 방정식 모형 분석을 하였다. 연구에 대한 실증 분석 결과 첫째, 판매원의 역할은 소비자의 쇼핑가치, 소비자와의 관계 결속과 제품 만족도에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 판매원의 적응적 판매 전략은 소비자의 쇼핑 가치에 영향을 미치는 중요한 변수라고 제안 할 수 있으며, 또한, 판매원의 적응적 판매 전략은 실용적 쇼핑 가치가있는 소비자보다 쾌락적 쇼핑 가치가있는 소비자에 더 강한 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, 판매원과 소비자의 결속은 소비자의 제품 만족에 있어 중요한 역할을 하는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 판매원의 적응적 판매 전략의 효과를 알아봄으로써, 온라인과 비대면 마케팅이 점차 강조되고 있는 현재의 시장 환경에서, 기업들에게 판매원의 중요성과 판매원을 통한 효율적인 마케팅 접근법을 제시하고, 이를 통한 실무적인 시사점을 제공하는 점에서 그 의의를 가진다.

Sales force automation (SFA) technologies are increasingly used to support customer relationship management (CRM) strategies. However, the popular press reports mixed results among companies incorporating SFA technologies and the previous studies have less interested in relationship quality between sales person and customer as an outcome of SFA. Actually the improved quality of the salesperson-customer relationship may be the most important outcome of SFA usage. This outcome is especially meaningful in today's marketplace given the increasing focus placed on customer retention and other customer related performance such as customer lifetime value. Therefore, this study seeks to further examine the impact of SFA usage within two different firms using SFA technologies to examine the impact of SFA usage on both customer relationship quality and sales performance. Additionally, the moderating roles of perceived managerial support and salesperson experience on the outcomes of SFA usage are examined. The results shows that direct effect of SFA usage on performance was not significant but highlight the mediating role of customer relationship quality in the SFA usage - sales performance relationship. Also, this research examines a number of moderating effects of both management supports for SFA and salesperson's sales work experience. The results indicate that management support has a significant direct influence on relationship quality and salesperson performance, but not a significant moderating effect on the relationship between SFA usage and the outcomes (relationship quality and performance). Thus moderating effects were not supported but find significant main effects. First of all, finding of this study suggest that a formula for successful SFA implementation must be one that highlights a SFA usage → relationship quality → sales performance sequence. This means when sales person use SFA they must build relationship with customer first then will return some long term performance. Second, the implications of not considering the introduction of big technology initiatives in terms of fit within the company's culture, strategy, structure, and environment may in many cases be quite noteworthy. Therefore, the launching of a new technology in the firm, such as SFA, may have a nonlinear impact upon overall firm performance, depending on the presence of other complimentary resources and capabilities. Finally the authors offer a number of implications for research and practice, and suggest directions for future SFA research that may further improve our understanding of this increasingly relevant topic.
