specific than anyone older than a newborn!...

� From the entrepreneur point of view the prime objective of marketing is to pinpoint the company’s target market, the specific group of customers at whom the company aims its products or services.
� Without a clear image of its target market, a small company tries to reach almost everyone and ends up appealing to almost no one!

Focus on the Customer
� 67% of customers who stop patronizing a business do so because an indifferent employee treated them poorly.
� 96% of dissatisfied customers never complain about rude or discourteous service to the company, but...
� 91% will not buy from that business again.
� 100% will tell their “horror stories” to at
least nine other people.
� 13% of those unhappy customers will tell their stories to at least 20 other people.

Focus on the Customer
� Treating customers indifferently or poorly costs the
average company 15% to 30% of gross sales
� Replacing lost customers is expensive; it costs 5
times as much to attract a new customer as it does to
sell to an existing one
� About 70% of a company’s sales come from existing customers.
� Because 20% of a typical company’s customers account for about 80% of its sales, no business can afford to alienate its best and most profitable customers and survive
