The scope of research on the development of salespeople has been very limited, in part because of an incomplete conceptual framework of salespeople's life and career changes.

Career objectives, developmental tasks, personal challenges, and psychosocial needs of each career stage are discussed, and propositions are developed regarding the influence of career stages on salespeople's effectiveness.
