Abstract
The ability to cope effectively with job-related stress may be important if salespeople are to perform effectively. Therefore, the specific nature of the coping tactics used by salespeople to deal with job-related stress and the use of certain coping strategies associated with sales presentation effectiveness of salespeople were investigated. Data provided by salespeople from three organizations were used to assess the degree to which specific coping strategies were related to sales presentation effectiveness.

It is proposed in this paper that some consistent personality and attitudinal constructs like self-esteem, externality-internality, learned helplessness, a potent sense of hope and efficacy, and anxiety, which are end-products of a long socialization process characterized by person-environment transaction and interaction, might promise to explain these reactional differences observed among individuals under stress.
