A field experiment using computer-interactive interviews is applied to test the effects of buyer-seller relationships on selling effectiveness in the context of an individual purchase decision. The results show that when buyers are in a relational exchange with a seller, they evaluate the sellerEs product more highly and are more likely to consider and choose the sellerEs product for purchase.
