distribution in Brazil. One of the sectors affected was the 
wholesaling of agriculture products in São Paulo. The objective in this study 
was to verify if the offering of services were related to a better performance 
of the firms in this sector. The services considered pertinent to this sector 
were surveyed and descriptive statistics and Spearman correlation analysis were 
performed, using the SAS 8.02 software from SAS Institute. The firms surveyed 
were on the cadastre used to research the daily prices of agriculture products 
in the wholesaling market in São Paulo, by IEA- Institute of Agricultural 
Economics of the Agricultural and Supplying Secretary of São Paulo State 
Government. The study of the relationship between services and satisfaction with 
financial performance showed that the variables offering several brands of a 
product, sales promotion, time of payment, price allowance, use of advertising, 
sales through internet and grains improvement (this variable, negatively) were 
correlated to cash flow, return on shareholder’s capital and gross profit 
margin.
