		<description>oh this is a good post!  what a great reminder to take care of your potential clients as well as your current clients.  As an artist I haven&#039;t done enough of this - but I&#039;m working on it right now, so this post is a good shove to remember *why* I&#039;m working on it.</description>

		<description>Thanks, Lewis - I agree!  I think part of the reason this isn&#039;t done is this is not how most organizations are measured.  When we start incenting employees on customer retention, in addition to customer acquisition, we will start to see behaviors change - as well as budget allocations.

It is the right thing to do for our customers and our business.</description>

		<description>Great advice Becky. In fact, I think we should spend 90 percent of our time taking care of our customers and 10 percent or less attaining new customers. Our bottom and top lines would grow more quickly and our expenses would decline. Most important, it is the right thing to do for our customers.</description>
