Abstract

Relationship marketing has been a success factor in organizations, as it consists of developing a satisfactory relationship with customers with the intention of creating long-term bonds. Therefore, this work has the general objective of analyzing the perception of managers and customers in relation to relationship marketing practiced by the K gym in the city of João Pessoa - PB. Methodologically, a qualitative approach was adopted and data collection took place through structured interview scripts with the participation of the manager and students. The method chosen was content analysis, based on the categories: customer loyalty, highest value customer, benefits offered, personalized and two-way communication, use of database, understanding of customer needs, personalization of services. As a result, it was found that both the manager and the students have a positive perception of the relational marketing developed by the researched gym, considering that it is ahead in this type of market in the region where it operates. It is noticed that the establishment is not accommodated with its position, aiming to present the best for its customers.
