The framework has been developed to portray sales managers' activities as three interrelated, sequential processes, each of which influences the various determinants of salesperson performance.The three interrelated parts of the framework, formulation of a sales program, implementation of the sales program, and evaluation and control of the sales program, remain consistent and highly relevant in the 9th edition. This edition integrates new, innovative learning tools and the latest in sales management theory and practice.
