La hipótesis señala que la creatividad afecta positivamente la adaptabilidad de las ventas. Se encontró que los vendedores utilizan la creatividad para mejorar su estilo de comunicación y adaptarse mejor al cliente. Finalmente, en cuanto a relevancia, el estudio ofrece implicaciones prácticas y se considera que los resultados generados en este análisis pueden ser utilizados por las empresas para adaptar las acciones del vendedor, a través de la creatividad.
