Abstract

The interaction between customers and salesmen often determines the final outcome of a retail transaction. Salesmen often use various cues about potential customer's byuing intentions in designing their sales presentation strategies. This study examines nonprice aspects of salesmen-customer interaction utilizing an experimental design. The results of the study show that salesmen respond differently to prospects with different characteristics.
