Çeşitli rakipleriyle yarış içinde olan işletmeler, modern çağın illüzyonu ile hedef tüketicilerine ulaşmanın en iyi yolunun teknolojinin nimetlerini kullanmak olduğunu düşünmektedir. Veri toplamakta ve bu verileri müşteri memnuniyeti için kullanmaktadırlar. Ancak yüz yüze iletişimin önemi genellikle hafife alınmakta veya ihmal edilmektedir. Bu çalışma, Müşteri İlişkileri Yönetimi (CRM) uygulamalarının, yüksek teknolojiden zamansız satış tekniği olan kişilerarası iletişime doğru bir dönüş yapmasını sağlamayı amaçlamaktadır. CRM sürecinde sözsüz (NV) iletişimin rolünü ortaya koymak için, Türkiye'de 5 yıldızlı otellerde konaklama yapmış 643 katılımcıya son otel konaklamaları ile ilgili olarak otel tercihleri ve otel çalışanları ile ilgili değerlendirmeleri sorulmuştur. Araştırma sonuçları içerisinde en önemlileri; 5 yıldızlı bir otelden en önemli beklentinin hizmet kalitesi olduğu; müşterilerin kalite konusundaki algılarının iletişimin kalitesi ile şekillendiği ve çalışanların sözsüz iletişim becerilerinin müşteriler tarafından yüksek derecede önemsendiğidir.
