Recognizing the importance of the sales manager to the success of the organization, researchers are beginning to focus attention on the sales manager. Results of an exploratory study designed to isolate differences in the training of sales managers in smaller and larger organizations are presented. Specifically, training approaches, leaders, methods, environments, and content are addressed. Reviewing the results of this study one is struck by the fact that the similarities far outnumber the differences. However, even among firms committed to training, resource differences may impact sales management training. Although both smaller and larger firms gave workshops high effectiveness ratings, this approach was used significantly more often by larger firms than smaller firms. This result may reflect the fact that conducting an effective workshop may be quite resource intensive and take considerable effort from both participants and leaders. Larger firms may simply have more resources available to meet the demands of an effective workshop approach.
