Abstract: | The effects of buyer-seller relationships on selling effectiveness were tested in the context of an individual purchase decision in a field experiment using computer interviews. Organizational buyers responded within the interviews to simulated calls from copier salespeople. The results indicate that when these buyers are in a relational exchange with a seller (as opposed to a discrete exchange), they evaluate that seller's product more highly and are more likely to consider and choose the seller's product for purchase. |
