Resumo: |
Electronic commerce is growing around the world and does not behave differently in Brazil. In this sense, Frost & Sullivan (2014) estimates that e-commerce in the B2B market is expected to move around US $ 6.7 trillion worldwide by 2020, more than double that predicted for B2C e-commerce, which is $ 3.2 trillion. The office supplies industry, which integrates the B2B market and the distribution industry, promoting indirect purchasing and procurement solutions for small, medium and large companies, faces the challenge of using e-commerce and the impacts that this technology can generate in the management model of sales professionals. In view of the foregoing, the general objective of this work is to understand the impacts of the use of e-commerce on the work of sales professionals in the B2B market in the office supplies industry. In addition, it was possible to identify the differences and similarities, between the vision of the commercial managers and the professionals of sales professionals, as well as the new demands and challenges for the management of the workforce in the sector. In relation to the methodology used, two types of research were chosen: the first exploratory in books and academic articles, and the second by qualitative exploratory research in which eight sales professionals and three commercial managers were interviewed, among the three largest companies of the office supplies industry of the State of São Paulo. The results of the survey are: the use of e-commerce has an impact on the work of sales professionals as it changes careers, vendors' remuneration and performance patterns, turning these professionals into product-oriented and support-oriented consultants to the client portfolio. This creates a conflict between e-commerce and the traditional sales channel to be administered, as there is a perception of competition between the technology tool and the salespeople's work; context in which the visions of the sales professionals and the managers do not agree on the impacts. Finally, the contributions of this study, as far as its extension goes, go beyond the academic environment and serve to alert B2B professionals in the office supply industry about the changes in work and the challenges of their careers |
