Adaptive Selling Behavior (ASB) is a change in sales behavior through interactions with customers based on perceptual information about the nature of the sales situation. ASB helps sales staff to adopt marketing strategies and tailor their messages to suit customer needs and preferences. ASB can be used as a determinant of sales performance.
