Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the influence of Human Resource (HR) development programs on the performance of the sales team and customer satisfaction at PT. Misi Depo Bangunan, a leading building materials retail company. Amidst intense industry competition and rising customer expectations, HR development programs have become a strategic investment to enhance the capabilities of the sales team. This research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative data analysis from 50 sales team members and 100 customers with qualitative data from in-depth interviews with a sales manager and several sales team representatives. Quantitative data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, while qualitative data were analyzed using thematic analysis. The results indicate that HR development programs focusing on three key areas product knowledge, negotiation skills, and customer centric service have a positive and significant influence (p < 0.05) on the achievement of sales targets. Furthermore, a strong positive correlation was found between the competence of the trained sales team and the level of customer satisfaction. The qualitative findings reinforce that the training not only improved hard skills but also boosted the team’s self-confidence and motivation, which indirectly impacted the quality of customer interactions. This study recommends that PT. Misi Depo Bangunan continue and enrich its training modules with relevant case studies and digital sales simulations to address future market challenges.
