Abstract

John Cameron Aspley revolutionized the sales management discipline in 1916 by introducing a mimeographed news bulletin designed to provide salespeople with periodic and timely information to improve their performance. Aspley recognized that salespeople needed such information but that there was no other easily accessible source.

This news bulletin was an inter-industry vehicle for exchanging personal selling techniques and sales management principles.
