Abstract
This article offers a conceptual framework for classifying attributes of offerings in a businessβmarketing context. Typologies on the nature of productβrelated attributes and classification of industrial products are synthesized for viewing levels of product meaning. Repertory grid procedures first developed in clinical psychology and recently adapted for use in business settings are presented as an approach for eliciting salient/determinant attributes. Enhanced effectiveness of the classic industrial selling process is demonstrated along with implications for managing the sales force. Β© 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
