Relational selling behavior is important which takes place with the primary goal of securing, building, and maintaining long-term relationships with profitable customers (Johnston & Marshall, 2005) and is favored by buyers in repeat purchase conditions (Caldarola & Richard, 2009).



Salespeople should enhance customer satisfaction and trust (Doney & Cannon, 1997; Dwyer, Schurr, & Oh, 1987; Ganesan, 1994; Morgan & Hunt, 1994), or what some researchers call “relationship quality” (Crosby, Evans, & Cowles, 1990).

There are numerous studies focusing on understanding business to business exchange relationships between individuals who represent firms, but individual factors, such as trust, customer-orientation, personal disclosure and the negotiator's skills and experience have been little explored (Dabholkar et al., 1994).



While few scholars debate the importance of doing things to improve the quality of the buyer and seller relationship, little is known about what salespeople can do after the point of the initial sale to enhance customer satisfaction and trust, results indicate that these salesperson service behaviors are important in building trust and customer satisfaction, which in turn lead to increases in customer share of market (Ahearne & Jelinek & Jones, 2007).

Therefore, current study considers (interaction of salesperson with the customer, considering the affect of salesperson factors i.e. Expertise, Intention ability, a team selling environment, Listening to the customer's voice, Frequent Customer Interaction, and Length of relationship) to more fully understand the implications of these critical categories in salesperson and customer interaction.

This study will present us more comprehensive model of salesperson and customer interaction and its result on customer's trust, in Pakistani context. As such findings and results will be beneficial to sales managers, sales researchers and those who have interest in relationship marketing business.
