To cope with the rapid emergence of competition, communication service providers are assigning marketers for the purpose of relationship marketing. However, the efficiency of relationship marketing has yet to be examined. This paper investigates the service quality determinants In relationship marketing through the telecommunication service marketers. By considering the specificity of the marketer´s role, the quality dimensions in SERVQUAL research have been modified. A survey has been conducted for the hypothesized seven quality dimensions. The results of the factor analysis show that the service quality determinants of relationship marketing are in fact four dimensions : empathy, reliability, image and tangibles. Here, the empathy dimension entails cost factor, and the reliability dimension includes responsiveness and assurance. The results also support the proposition, reported in SIRVPIRF research, that the quality of service should be measured only by the perceived achievement of the customer.
