Price Delegation and the Impact on Customer Loyalty
Bonyuet, Derrick
Journal of Instructional Pedagogies, v22 May 2019
Conventional wisdom has frequently portrayed the positive influence behind customer loyalty. After all, customer loyalty represents a customer's intention to continue buying from a firm. However, extant literature has recognized the existence of two types of customer loyalty: loyalty to the selling firm and loyalty to the salesperson. We explored the risks behind customer loyalty to the salesperson and then, how to use price delegation as a way to mitigate such risks. We examined the impact of different degrees of price delegation by conducting a survey among customers. Participants' feedback was gathered to create a customer loyalty index. The findings support our hypothesis that a lower price delegation results in lower customer loyalty to the salesperson.
