Advancing the service-specific and solution-centric model of creativity: The roles of salesperson intuition, emotional intelligence, and cognitive laziness
This research draws on the Service-Specific and Solution-Centric Model of Creativity. Specifically, the research examines how salespeople's reliance on intuition, cognitive laziness, and objective ability-based EI come together to shape salesperson creative selling, a known driver of sales performance. Results from 173 B2B salespeople reveal that intuition and cognitive laziness are distinct and have unique influences on creative selling, and subsequently, sales performance. In particular, reliance on intuition positively influences creative selling, whereas cognitive laziness effect is negative. Additionally, in contrast to past findings that utilize subjective EI scaling, this study deploys an objective EI assessment, to test the effect of EI on creative selling. Furthermore, creative selling positively influences both behavioral and outcome sales performance, facilitating the indirect effects of reliance on intuition and cognitive laziness on sales performance.
