The underlying purpose of the sales organization is to generate income. While the source of clients often varies among selling situations, creating opportunities in a changing environment remains a constant challenge. While still limited in applications, the notion of an individual or organization being entrepreneurial has grown in exposure in recent years, with an army of applications emerging from the literature. As previously noted, salespeople typically share common qualities consistent with having an entrepreneurial orientation. Hence, the premise of this article is that sales organizations should embrace, develop and seek sellers with an entrepreneur spirit and disposition, or as the authors call these individuals, the sales entrepreneurs. Sales organizations have undergone a host...
