Interactive marketing theory suggests that satisfaction and positive outcomes are directly associated with the extent of customer interaction. The quality of the relationships between customers and front-line employees, which incorporates both a professional and a social dimension, can strongly contribute to the customer`s overall perception of quality of the service provider. Customers are influenced by the service provider and the quality of the experience. Receiving service is both a personal and psychological experience. There is a psychological and physical closeness between employees and customers in the service encounter. Services are delivered during the interaction between customers and customer-contact employees, and thus, employees` attitudes and behaviors towards customers determine customers` perceived service quality, satisfaction, and performance. Contact employees in services become involved in what is termed as 'Interactive Marketing'. It is essential that they are responsive to customers` needs. Not only do buyer-seller interactions have an impact on purchasing and repeat purchasing decisions but also, crucially, that buyer-seller interactions provide a marketing opportunity for the organization. The Internal marketing is to get motivated and customer conscious employees.
