| Client Retention
- Why is it overlooked?
We're fond of Peter Drucker's simple and profound quote…
"The goal of any business
is to get and keep customers".
It is the "hunter" in business leaders that
has us focusing on the "get" part.
The "keep" part is seen as the "farming"
part. Less flashy…but more profitable!
A lost client represents more than the loss of the
next sale; you lose the future profit on the customer's
lifetime revenue.
It'll take years before a new client produces revenue
at the rate of a lost customer.
How Delighted Are They With
You? - Our Metaphor
In nature, all living things respond to nurturing.
Unfortunately, none of us seem to be very good natural
nurturers.
Imagine your clients as plants in your Retention Garden.
Are you giving them enough…
Sunshine...to keep them warm?
Water...to keep them nourished?
Fertilizer...to keep them inoculated against competitive
threats? >
If not, we'll help you be a better gardener…and
your harvest will arrive on your bottom-line.
