When you consider customer acquisition for your business, think about this question for a moment: how much of your sales come from repeat business versus first time customers? Now contrast that against how much money you spend against each segment. If you are embarrassed by the gaping disconnect, don t worry; you are not alone. But what if you did something about it? What if you turned everything on its head and instead of ending with a customer purchase, you began with it? What if you focused the lion s share of your effort, energy, and budget on keeping customers versus attracting them? What if you could correct this imbalance and, in doing so, not only get your customers to keep coming back for more, but tell others to do so as well?
