Sales Education Foundation Gives $5,000 in Recognition of Sales Research Dissemination

DAYTON, Ohio - March 7, 2016 - PRLog -- The Sales Education Foundation (SEF) is pleased to announce the recipient of the annual SEF/Neil Rackham Research Dissemination Award. Dr. Manfred Krafft, from the University of Muenster, Muenster, Germany, received the most nominations from his peers. This award recognizes an individual who helps others learn about quality research specific to the sales industry. The key criteria are recognition and nomination from professional and academic colleagues. By circulating quality sales research to industry professionals through conferences, individuals outside of academia gain knowledge and understanding of issues key to the industry. Individuals, who nominated Dr. Krafft, cited his long history of actively establishing an exchange of sales scholars and executives, and his influence on globalizing sales research.

The program’s $5,000 award is given in honor of the recipient to a sales program or non-profit organization of their choice. Past recipients include sales journals and university sales programs/centers of higher learning.

According to Neil Rackham, best-selling author and renowned sales researcher, “the time has come for increased collaboration between sales researchers and practitioners. We have seen them work separately for decades – now we can streamline their work into a cohesive strategy that will benefit universities, sales practitioners and consumers alike.”
