5.0 out of 5 stars New Mindsets and New Profits from Ex-Customers, March 10, 2006
By 

Businesses put high time allocation on obtaining new customers but drop the ball on keeping and reinstating customers. The author, George R. Walther, sheds a river of light on this untapped resource and goldmine.

Mindsets need to be changed about complaining customers. They are not your enemy. They should be viewed as "partners" who are in trouble and need a friendly bit of attention. The benefits are astounding. A thoroughly satisfied complainer is nine times more likely to buy from you again than the average. The cost of obtaining a new prospect is much higher than satisfying a continual customer. Complainers not handled can destroy your market. Complainers can give you valuable research information that would otherwise cost thousands. Walther shares successful approaches in dealing with the unhappy customer.

The reasons customers leave is another side to this equation. Most unhappy customers leave and don't say a word. Two thirds of these cite the reason as indifference showed by the company. Every effort should be made to re-assume this customer for a win-win situation.

This book could have been more popular if it had an understandable title.
