| Summary: | The application of salesperson adaptive selling skills and sales presentation skills by a salesperson
during their interaction with customers in the sales situation can have a significant effect on customer intention
to promote through word-of-mouth in the Malaysian Computer retail business. The purpose of this paper is to
examine the relations between salesperson adaptive selling skills, positive word-of-mouth and the relative roles
played by cognitive satisfaction in the development of customer satisfaction which will lead to customer’s
intention to promote through word-of-mouth in a computer retail setting in Malaysia. This will then lead to
increased benefits for the organization in the form of customer loyalty. The cognitive evaluation of customer
satisfaction was found to explain customer loyalty in a retail setting significantly. This finding holds importance
to those retailers who have been able to generate high expectations in the eyes of their customers. |
