TWO WEEKS AGO I CONDUCTED SOME RESEARCH
WITH MORE AFFLUENT CUSTOMERS
![Page 3: IGNITE YOUR BUSINESS!](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/548b7292b479596c438b4d55/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
THE RESULTS SUPPORT THE NATIONAL TRENDS
![Page 4: IGNITE YOUR BUSINESS!](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/548b7292b479596c438b4d55/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
CONSUMERS ARE RELUCTANT TO SPEND
![Page 5: IGNITE YOUR BUSINESS!](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/548b7292b479596c438b4d55/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
IT’S TIME TO GO BACK TO THE OLD DAYS WHEN
RELATIONSHIPS MATTERED
![Page 6: IGNITE YOUR BUSINESS!](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/548b7292b479596c438b4d55/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
THERE WAS A LITTLE ITALIAN MAN WINE MAKER WHO
DIDN’T HAVE AN ADVERTISING BUDGET
HIS NAME WAS TONY
![Page 7: IGNITE YOUR BUSINESS!](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/548b7292b479596c438b4d55/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
HE ONLY KNEW HOW TO DO ONE THING, THAT WAS “BE NICE” TO HIS CUSTOMERS
![Page 8: IGNITE YOUR BUSINESS!](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/548b7292b479596c438b4d55/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
TO SHOW HIS LOVE FOR HIS CUSTOMERS, HE INVITED THEM FOR DINNER AND COOKED
![Page 9: IGNITE YOUR BUSINESS!](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/548b7292b479596c438b4d55/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
HE KNEW THE BEST WAY TO GET PROFITABLE CUSTOMERS WAS TO HAVE THEM BRING IN THEIR FRIENDS
![Page 10: IGNITE YOUR BUSINESS!](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/548b7292b479596c438b4d55/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
HE KNEW THERE WAS ONE REASON TO BE IN BUSINESS, AND THAT WAS TO LOVE HIS
CUSTOMERSS
![Page 11: IGNITE YOUR BUSINESS!](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/548b7292b479596c438b4d55/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
WITH BUSINESS BEING SLOW EVERYONE LOOKS FOR “NEW”
CUSTOMERS
![Page 12: IGNITE YOUR BUSINESS!](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/548b7292b479596c438b4d55/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
THE PROBLEM IS THAT NEW CUSTOMERS CAN PUT YOU OUT OF BUSINESS
• Spend $300.00 a week and get 30 New Customer
• Customer spends $5.00; $2.50 is profit and $2.50 is hard cost.
• Has actually lost $5 on each new customer.• If of those 30 new customers, 20 never came
back, the bakery has actually lost $100 Action International, “the cost of acquisition”.
![Page 13: IGNITE YOUR BUSINESS!](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/548b7292b479596c438b4d55/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
THE REAL KEY IS LOYALTY. DOES
LOYALTY MATTER?• For every 1% improvement in your
customer retention rate, operating income will improve by 20%
• A 5% reduction in customer defections can lead to an 85% boost in profits.
• Customer loyalty generates operating margins of 13%, while laggards had margins of just 2%?

HOW MUCH DOES LOYALTY MATTER?
![Page 15: IGNITE YOUR BUSINESS!](https://reader033.fdocuments.in/reader033/viewer/2022061208/548b7292b479596c438b4d55/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
DO YOU KNOW WHY YOUR CUSTOMERS LEAVE?
68% Leave because of “perceived indifference”
14% Leave because of dissatisfaction
9% Leave because of competitive reasons
91% of customer defections can be impacted by staying in touch! What are you doing to “stay in touch?”
Richheld and Sasser study, Harvard Business Review

IT’S TIME TO PUT SOME HEAT INTO YOUR BUSINESS!
• Rules of engagement have changed
• Less customers, changing demographics, less money
• Building less customers but better customers

CUSTOMERS WILL PAY FOR EXPERIENCES
• There was a hotel in California that had free manicures and shoe shining on Thursdays. Guests booked their stays around these services. How about Yoga and Pilates? (That’s what JC Penny is doing)
• Parties, meet other guests, have fun
