Title:Can Selling Make You More Resilient? Experimental Evidence from India- Iris Steenkamp - Assistant Professor, Bocconi University- Gaurav Mehta - CEO, Dharma Life, Noida, New Delhi, India- Rajesh Chandy - Professor of Marketing and Tony and Maureen Wheeler Chair in Entrepreneurship, London Business School,- Om Narasimhan - Professor of Management, London School of Economics.

Abstract:Communities all over the world frequently confront sudden, disruptive challengesthat underscore the importance of resilience, i.e., the capacity to recover from hardships.In response, numerous programs have been deployed by governments, NGOs,and businesses to offer aid to the most vulnerable. Nonetheless, the uptake of suchprograms by those eligible, particularly among the disadvantaged, remains strikinglylow.Our research, conducted through a randomized controlled trial with 1,048 women inrural India during the COVID-19 pandemic, investigates a marketing-driven approachto enhancing resilience and encouraging greater engagement with relief programs. Wehighlight the potential role of marketing employment (specifically, sales employment)as a means to improve personal resilience among individuals during periods of crisis.Specifically, we show that sales jobs can yield increases in personal connections withinformed and influential individuals. Such connections in turn increase economic andpsychological resilience by improving access to support programs. Importantly, thepositive impact of sales jobs on resilience is particularly large among those from themost marginalized communities.This investigation offers a novel perspective on the causal relationship between marketingemployment and resilience. It emphasizes the unique potential of marketing rolesto catalyze personal growth and societal engagement, suggesting that those engaged inspecific marketing roles in their professional lives may experience substantial benefitsthat permeate into and enhance their personal lives.
