Data were collected prior to the introduction of SFA and six months later from 156 salespeople at a major manufacturing firm. In addition to demonstrating that training, customer pressure, and peer use play important roles in SFA adoption, this research is the first to indicate that one's goal orientation also affects adoption behaviors. Beyond examining factors that drive technology adoption, the longitudinal methodology employed in this study provides unique evidence that the adoption of sales technology tools enhances job performance.

Respondents were recruited in four different ways, namely from an online opt-in panel, via website pop-ups, by postal mail and by telephone. The response patterns from different data collection methods relating to a variety of subjects (e.g. internet use, technology adoption, attitudes, interests and opinions, demographics) are compared. The results indicate that all sampling methods generate different results (also between postal and telephone research) when not controlling for socio-demographics from the national population. Once controlling for such factors, online and offline data collection methods generate similar results in terms of socio-demographics, attitudes, interests and opinions. Although some differences remain they can not be attributed to one or the other recruitment method. Correcting post hoc via reselection reduces the differences considerably in terms of techn...
