Abstract
The purpose of this paper was to investigate the relationship between customer orientation and sales training. Data were obtained from 297 apparel salespeople working at six department stores in Daegu. Statistics used for data analysis were frequency, factor analysis, correlation, and t-test. The respondents were classified into 3 groups; high, medium, and low customer-oriented groups based on the mean score of customer orientation, and the high and the low were compared in training contents and educational methods. Based on factor analysis, four factors were extracted from 27 items of training content. Two of four factors were significantly correlated with customer orientation. The regression analysis showed that customer service and duration of work had significant effects on customer orientation. Also, the results were found that there were significant differences between the high and the low customer-oriented group in training contents which salespeople want to have in the future. However, there were not significant differences between the two groups in educational methods.
