Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this research, we conducted an analysis aimed at elucidating scientifically the relationship between sales skills and individual performance by using evidence-based approach and machine learning approach.
A questionnaire survey was conducted targeting sales personnel engaged in corporate sales, and factor analysis and cluster analysis were performed using the collected data. In addition, we conducted a questionnaire about the Big Five personality diagnosis and compared the sales persons engaged in corporate sales activities with other occupations. Finally, using the result of cluster analysis, we constructed a network structure by Bayesian network, and elucidated the structure of individual sales skill of sales staff.
