This document discusses building effective buyer-seller relationships through adaptive selling. It proposes classifying customer behaviors and adapting sales behaviors to match customers to understand their needs better and make persuasive sales. It presents a dyadic model where relationships vary depending on the exchange nature and grow progressively or remain static. A conceptual framework is outlined involving product/organizational/personal factors, seller communication, communication style interactions, and transaction outcomes. Methods are described to assess personality temperaments, value systems, and interpersonal satisfaction between buyers and sellers.

Adaptive Selling
• Classifying the behaviors of
customers
• Adapting their behaviors to match
those of customers
• Approaching customer & trying to
understand their needs
• Trying to make sale through
persuasion

on Situation or
Environment

Two types of selling mentioned in the research paper. 1 is personal selling another Adaptive selling
In Personal selling seller try approaches, tries to understand customer needs then persuade customer
Adaptive selling is the core concept in adaptive selling. In Adaptive selling salesperson classifies the behaviors of customers and then adapt their behaviors to match those of customers.
“The order of the day” of todays presentation is to derive phenomena of effective Buyer seller Dyadic Relationship. As depicted in the research paper, we can see there are different distinctive elements to build up the long term relationship. Elements will be discussed throughly
Rozina:
Zeithaml, Berry and Parasuraman (1996) contend that high levels of customer satisfaction serve both offensive and defensive purposes for marketers. Used as an offensive tool, customer satisfaction may attract new customers, while used as a defensive tool it may create brand loyalty and thus keep present customers from defecting. In short, high customer satisfaction is an indispensable means of creating a lasting competitive advantage

TISHA:
2 aspects
Temperament is innate and is very influential in determining non-verbal overt behaviors such as speech patterns (volume, fluency, and speed), extroversion or introversion, gait, and body language.
Value Systems are sets of standards, principles, and values which influence decisions we make and volitional aspects of behavior that reflect how we use our knowledge
(Optional):
The four archetypal value systems in Massey’s framework are Traditionalist, Challenger, In-betweener, and Synthesizer (also referred to as T-, C-, I-, and S-type value systems)
Kulsum:
interpersonal satisfaction is an emotional response to a salesperson resulting from evaluation of one’s interactions with that salesperson during the shopping, negotiating, payment, delivery, and post-delivery usage stages of acquisition of a good or service.
Interpersonal satisfaction
psychological attributes of customers and salespeople are important in determining the level of interpersonal satisfaction
The research described here examines the influence of two aspects of the personalities (referred to here as temperament and value system)
suggest_this model suggests that a person’s behavior is dependent upon either the situation in which he or she is operating (i.e. his or her environment) or upon his or her situation and personal attributes
The S-R model ignores the complexities of human behavior as displayed in purposeful behavior, information seeking, cognitive processes, and social relationships In addition, it does not explain why characteristics cause certain effects but, rather, is limited to describing behaviors and predicting outcomes. Finally,the internal and external validities have been challenged as the result of certain anomalies (Bagozzi, 1976). As Bagozzi (1976) states, the S-R approach focuses “primarily on the behavior of single actors and rel[ies] on unilateral influence principles.”

The instrument designed by Thomas Hendrickson, called the “Personal Profile Analysis” (PPA), to assess temperaments according to Marston’s theory was used Downloaded by Khulna University At 01:27 06 February 2017 (PT) Building Effective Buyer-Seller Dyadic Relationships 307 in this study to determine the dominant temperament-types of the subjects. The PPA instrument consists of twenty-four tetrads of descriptive words.
TISHA:
Matching of dominant temperament-types of salespeople and customers in
dyads was determined by the dominant temperament-type of each without regard
to the strength or intensity (height of the bar on the bar graph) of that temperament
type. For example, if the dominant temperament-type of the salesperson was
“challenger,” then the dyad was considered matched if the customer’s dominant
temperament-type was also “challenger,” regardless of the intensity of that
temperament-type for either party. Otherwise, the dyad was considered unmatched
with respect to temperaments.
