Hard to believe, but truel If yours is an average business, you LOSE 30 PER CENT of your ‘customers each year. If you don't believe it, look through last year’s accounts and see how many are no longer active. Through death, hard feelings, moving to ‘another community or through the efforts of hard-driving competitors . . . a variety of reasons, some of them beyond your control. At the same time, there's a normal business Increase of only four per cent each year. That leaves you facing a 26 PER CENT HANDICAP each year. A handicap you must overcome if your business is to remain healthy and profitable. WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT?
