But, 1, words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often2the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers tend to become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business3that the customer remains a customer.4to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs businesses huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the average company loses between 10 and 30 per cent of its customers every year. In constantly changing5, this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.Only now are organisations beginning to wake up to these lost opportunities and calculate the 6implications. Cutting down the number of customers a company loses can make a big 7in its performance. Research in the US found that a five per cent decrease in the number of defecting(流失的) customers led to8increases of between 25 and 85 per cent.In the US, Dominos Pizza estimates that a regular customer is worth more than $5, 000 over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or service on their first visit and9never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in10profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).The logic behind cultivating customer11is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to 12them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield Universitys School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits. 13customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price14, and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it15for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market. 1.
