The specific objectives are the study of the various key performance indicators that generate increases in sales productivity of firms such as the activity of the salespeople, the role of managers and performance management among others. A prospective study was carried out through the Delphi method with responses from a balanced panel of experts including managers, academics and consultants, and contrasting results by means of a survey of salespeople from different industries in Chile.
