 New evaluation metric for measuring sales training effectivenessJoon-Hee Oh and Wesley J. Johnston Journal of Business Research, 2023, vol. 156, issue C Abstract: Researchers have suggested several metrics to evaluate and demonstrate the effects of different types of training on salespeople. However, despite their contribution, these metrics are not practical for evaluating developmental interventions, mainly because of measurement difficulties, data accessibility issues, and the longitudinal nature of training. Therefore, a new metric must be developed that compensates for the shortcomings in evaluating sales training effectiveness. Therefore, this study develops and presents an evaluation metric to help companies better evaluate their intervention strategies. First, salespeople’s talent and selective learning for talent construction are recognized and presented to support the metric conceptually. Subsequently, the metric is assessed using a strategic simulation. Results show that improved practicality of the metric contributes to companies’ evaluation of intervention strategies to increase training effectiveness.
