Caging The Lone Wolf: The Influence Of Dichotomous Thinking And Sales Control Systems On Sales Performance And Turnover Intentions, Skyler Leonhardt, Mark Leach Oct 2025

Caging The Lone Wolf: The Influence Of Dichotomous Thinking And Sales Control Systems On Sales Performance And Turnover Intentions, Skyler Leonhardt, Mark Leach

Mountain Plains Business Conference

Lone wolf tendency (LWT) is defined as a “psychological state in which one prefers to work alone when making decisions and setting/accomplishing priorities and goals” (Dixon et al., 2003). Research remains uncertain about how these tendencies arise, though some salespeople appear more predisposed to exhibit them. Findings are also mixed on whether LWT enhances or undermines performance. This study proposes that dichotomous thinking (e.g., black-and-white thinking) predicts LWT and that outcome and behavioral controls function as autonomythreatening or autonomy-enhancing interventions shaping workplace outcomes, including sales performance and turnover intentions

Mastering Sales Excellence: Navigating The Balance Between Authentic Innovation And Routine Automation In The Ai Era, Victoria Hailey, Maria Kalyvaki

Mountain Plains Business Conference

The advent of generative AI has significantly transformed the sales landscape, presenting both opportunities and challenges. AI can enhance efficiency in the sales process by providing insights into industry trends, organizational background research and assist in perfecting the sales pitch. However, the challenge remains for salespeople to maintain authenticity and personal engagement during interactions, ensuring that AI-generated content does not come across as formulaic or insincere. This paper will investigate best practices for leveraging AI while preserving the human touch that is crucial for successful sales outcomes.

The Sustainable Future Of The Fashion Industry, Zhanna Kutsenkova

Along with the development of more socially and eco-conscious production and marketing practices, there is still room for the sustainable fashion movement to grow beyond its current scope. With the support of growing information networks and brand transparency consumers will be better equipped than ever before to make …

Corporate Social Responsibility In The B-2-B Market, Susan Saurage-Altenloh, Perry Haan

Atlantic Marketing Association Proceedings

Organizations that invest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) to improve the quality of a community or population expect a return on their investment in the form of improved brand reputation and greater consideration in the competitive environment. Homburg, Stierl, and Bornemann (2013) determined that targeted CSR activities could enhance trust and identification by organizational customers, thus fostering customer loyalty. The authors confirmed that CSR influenced client trust through loyalty and that integrating instrumental stakeholder theory with social exchange theory undergirded this link between CSR and trust. Maignan and Ferrell (2004) exhorted marketers to focus beyond consumers to other stakeholder groups …

Qualitative Data Mining And Sensitivity Analysis, Brian R. Kinard

Atlantic Marketing Association Proceedings

In today’s consumer centric environment, there is no shortage of outlets for consumers to express their level of satisfaction with a company, employee, product and/or service. For instance, websites such as Amazon, Rotten Tomatoes, TripAdvisor, Yelp, and Expedia allow customers the opportunity to provide feedback specific to a product, service, and/or organization. Such feedback is vitally important to business firms, as customer reviews are shown to be more trustworthy than descriptions that come direct from manufacturers. For instance, 73 percent of people trust online reviews and 63 percent of people actively seek out online reviews when making a purchase decision. …
