Abstract

Many researchers have treated the sales force automation (SFA) and acknowledged its benefits for the company. However, very few of them have considered the SFA as an effective tool of customer relationship management. Hence, this present chapter aims to advance a new theoretical and managerial vision where the SFA is revisited through the consideration of the customer relationship management but also, by scrutinizing its key role through the knowledge management to optimize the commercial function as a crucial aspect of the supply chain management. Particularly, the impact on the sellers' performance will be discussed. In this case, the commercial function is concerned as a partial supply chain.
