Issues • “Me Too” Research • The JM Model • What is Sales research? • Exploring Research in Other Fields and Marketing Sub-fields • Methodological Issues
“Me Too” Research • Not a negative term • “Me Too” research seeks specific answers, manipulates variables, builds on existing research • “Me Too” is the Heart of our Literature
The JM Model • Must be new and different; groundbreaking research • High quality on every dimension • Major contribution to the literature • Competing for limited space
What is Sales Research • JM sales articles since 2000 • Sales Call Anxiety: Exploring What it Means Where Fear Rules a Sales Encounter – Verbeke and Bagozzi • Successful and Unsuccessful Sales Calls: Measuring Salesperson Attributions and Behavioral Intentions – Dixon, Spiro, and Jamil • Antecedents and Consequences of Merit Pay fairness for Industrial Salespeople – Ramaswami and Singh • Building and Sustaining Buyer-Seller Relationships in Mature Industrial Markets – Narayandas and Rangan

Exploring Research in Other Fields and Marketing Sub-fields • We borrow from other fields – Management, Psychology, Sociology • We must get more Strategic literature in our Sales Research • We need to look at the Big Picture and not just focus on the tactics • Should we even be a Sub-discipline?
Methodological Issues • Obtaining high quality Data • Using new and improved Modeling and Analytical Techniques • Acquiring and building new Scales • Marrying the Theoretical with the Practical
