It does this by fully explaining and providing detailed examples of three necessary components in the design and use of effective and legally defensible selection programs. The first of these is doing a job analysis to identify both the important activities of the job to be filled and the worker characteristics necessary to successfully complete these activities. The second is understanding the various laws and legal issues that apply to recruitment of applicants and the conduct of selection programs. The third is a unique feature of this book. Six chapters are devoted to how to build and use the main instruments that gather information from applicants about the type and amount of worker characteristics that each possesses. These six major instruments are: application materials, interviews, ability and job knowledge tests, personality inventories, job simulations \u0026amp; work samples, and tests for counterproductive work behaviors (integrity, drug, and genetic testing). Organizations use one or more of these but frequently the instrument used gathers information that is not directly related to job performance, does not have adequate evaluation guidelines, and can be contested by applicants as unfair or discriminatory. Each chapter discusses how to avoid these issues and how to form a useful and defensible instrument that provides valid information to use in making selection decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book presents “best practices,” not “easy practices.” It takes time, thought, and effort to build a useful selection program. There is ample evidence that organizations that develop “best selection practices” have high levels of employee performance. There are three assumptions of such practices. First, the information that is gathered from applicants must be directly related to performance of the job. Usually information such as degrees earned, previous job titles, future individual goals, years of experience are not strongly related to job performance and not even verifiable. Second, there must be a numerical scoring method to apply to the information gathered from applicants. These numbers quantify the amount of a worker characteristic that the applicant possesses. As in most fields of organizations, e.g., financial, marketing, production, numbers are the basis for decisions. The third assumption of selection is that there are decision rules that use the numbers of applicants to make decisions as to whom to offer employment.

As a result, this textbook balances the emphasis between theory and practice,  with a practical emphasis on how sales management gets done. The book’s structure helps students better understand the career progression from being a salesperson who works well with a sales manager (Part One), to becoming a sales manager (Part Two), and progressing to a sales leadership role (Part Three). Incorporating current theory with practical applications, role plays, caselets and cases, this textbook will support the instructor who is seeking to prepare students to lead high-performance sales organizations.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","published_at":"2022-01-24T12:38:16-05:00","created_at":"2021-11-18T10:50:07-05:00","vendor":"Wessex Press Publishing Co.","type":"Book","tags":["new"],"price":8970,"price_min":8970,"price_max":23470,"available":true,"price_varies":true,"compare_at_price":null,"compare_at_price_min":0,"compare_at_price_max":0,"compare_at_price_varies":false,"variants":[{"id":42068523352322,"title":"Hardcover","option1":"Hardcover","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"978-1-7377664-7-6","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Sales Management: Shaping Future Sales Leaders 3rd Edition - Hardcover","public_title":"Hardcover","options":["Hardcover"],"price":23470,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":-131,"inventory_management":null,"inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]},{"id":42068523385090,"title":"Softcover","option1":"Softcover","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"978-1-7377664-8-3","requires_shipping":true,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Sales Management: Shaping Future Sales Leaders 3rd Edition - Softcover","public_title":"Softcover","options":["Softcover"],"price":13970,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":-304,"inventory_management":null,"inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]},{"id":42068523417858,"title":"eBook","option1":"eBook","option2":null,"option3":null,"sku":"0002-A6A4-A72A-D146:1201","requires_shipping":false,"taxable":true,"featured_image":null,"available":true,"name":"Sales Management: Shaping Future Sales Leaders 3rd Edition - eBook","public_title":"eBook","options":["eBook"],"price":8970,"weight":0,"compare_at_price":null,"inventory_quantity":-956,"inventory_management":null,"inventory_policy":"continue","barcode":"","requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_allocations":[]}],"images":["\/\/wessexlearning.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/SM3efrontcover.png?v=1643924875"],"featured_image":"\/\/wessexlearning.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/SM3efrontcover.png?v=1643924875","options":["Format"],"media":[{"alt":null,"id":29227270504706,"position":1,"preview_image":{"aspect_ratio":0.773,"height":330,"width":255,"src":"\/\/wessexlearning.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/SM3efrontcover.png?v=1643924875"},"aspect_ratio":0.773,"height":330,"media_type":"image","src":"\/\/wessexlearning.com\/cdn\/shop\/products\/SM3efrontcover.png?v=1643924875","width":255}],"requires_selling_plan":false,"selling_plan_groups":[],"content":"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eIn addition to having PhDs, the book’s author team have all worked in sales roles.
