1 means new client contact is few and far between and, no matter how much you spend on advertising, promotion, and customer creation, the new-face count remains low. You spend a lot of time wondering why your competitors eat your lunch and you haven't found the big magic to turn random suspects into ready to buy customers.

TRUTH: If you're like the rest of the country, you've seen countless challenges arise over the last six months. To survive in this ultra-competitive economy, you must get a constant flood of NEW customers. Think about the last six months of promotions, dollars spent on signage, ads, the internet, social media, networking, etc. How well did you actually create NEW customers? And now that the economy is returning to a "new normal", are the number of people craving what you have to offer lining up in droves, wanting to give you their cash?"

ACTION: Most companies woefully underestimate the real cost of creating an "ideal customer"... which consumes precious cash, time and resources.

1 means you "sell um and forget um"... and your out-of-sight-out-of-mind customer strategy is driving YOUR best potential customers into the willing arms of your fiercest competitor. No blogs, no Instagram, no Facebook presence means you are the business fierce competitors steal from... robbing you of people who should return to you, not them!

FACT: The only reason your business exists is to get and keep a customer. Why else would you open your doors each day?

OBVIOUS: To stay in business, you must MAKE MONEY from all that Getting and Keeping. Think about the last six months with all the ups and downs... all the dry spells... all the good times.
