Module 7 Discussion
From the personal selling perspective, there have been many
changes in the role of the salesperson over the past decade. One aspect that drives
numerous changes is the development of various forms of social media and
web-based portals. Complete a quick search and identify at least three
different changes within the personal selling arena that have occurred because
of either social media or web-based portals. Describe each and state the
long-term impact on personal selling as a profession. As an example, one of the
newest aspects involves reverse auction hubs. Make sure to provide the sources
of your information.
Include in your discussion post personal observations as
well as concrete examples to support your views. Initial posts should be at
least two paragraphs and include direct references to the readings and/or
additional articles. Word choice and sentence structure should be suitable for professional
level work, and all sources should have appropriate references and citations.
Post your initial response to the discussion question no
later than Thursday 11:59 PM EST/EDT.
Respond to at least two of your classmates no later than
Sunday 11:59 PM EST/EDT. If possible, respond to a classmate that has not
received a response and avoid responding to posts of your fellow group members.
Your responses should be constructive in nature and take the discussion to
another level of thought or perspective. Your response must be more than just
one or two lines and not a simple statement of agreement to the original post.
