8. Importance of Customer Experience
★ It costs 5 times more to acquire
a new customer than it does to
keep an existing one.
★ Happy customers spend more.
★ 70% of people leave because of
bad service, not a bad product.
★ The most successful companies
of the networked era are
service-oriented (customer and
self-service).

12. Suffers from additional problems
★ Ineffective sales tactics – getting new customers is the
primary goal, happy customers is not.
★ Too much focus on interrupting people – At best it is
unrequested advertising. At worst its annoying and hurtful.
★ Too much focus on getting found – It all ends up as hand
waving… hey look at me.
★ Too much focus on the “sales funnel” – customer
acquisition does not work like a conveyor belt.

★ Prospective customers are asking their friends about your
industry, your brand and the problems you solve
★ Your future customers are the friends and friends of
friends of your current customers, if your current
customers are happy.
★ They’re also Googling for information about you and your
industry – not to read your marketing copy but to find out
what real people think
