Management of A Sales Force

Management of the Sales Force covers the concepts and applies the theories associated with managing a sales force. The sales management course is offered in most marketing departments. In some cases you will find the sales management and selling course have merged (which is one reason why we've added a new chapter on personal selling to appeal to the widest audience.) This is the #1 selling text in this market. It has been praised over the years for being practical, applied, and student friendly. Previously known as Stanton, Buskirk and Spiro, the tenth edition marks Rosann Spiro's leadership role and thus, the cover reflects this change by including only Bill Standon and Rosann Spiro's names.

William J. Stanton is professor emeritus of marketing at the University of Colorado-Boulder. He received his PhD in marketing from Northwestern University, where he was elected to Beta Gamma Sigma. He has worked in business and has taught in several management development programs for marketing executives. He has served as a consultant for various business organizations and has engaged in research projects for the federal government. Professor Stanton also has lectured at universities in Europe, Asia, Mexico, and New Zealand. A coauthor of the leading text in sales management, Professor Stanton has also published several journal articles and monographs. Marketing has been translated into Spanish, and separate editions have been adapted (with coauthors) for Canada, Italy, Australia, and South Africa. In a survey of marketing educators, Professor Stanton was voted one of the leaders in marketing thought. And he is listed in Who's Who in America and Who's Who in the World.
