Retention Blueprint

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.

Questions to Consider

  • What kind of service do your clients expect to receive?
  • How can you improve your client-satisfaction levels?
  • What can be done to virtually guarantee your clients will stay with you forever?
