Focus on Existing Customers

Many businesses are obsessed with acquiring new customers, often at the expense of their existing ones. They pour resources into marketing and sales, while neglecting the people who are already paying them.

A _Company of One takes a different approach. It recognizes that the most important people to the business are the ones who are already customers. By focusing on serving them better, a business can:

• Increase Customer Lifetime Value: Happy customers are more likely to buy again and again.
• Generate Word-of-Mouth Marketing: Delighted customers become your best salespeople, spreading the word about your business for free.
• Improve Products and Services: Existing customers are a valuable source of feedback that can help you make your offerings even better.
• Build a Moat Around Your Business: Strong relationships with your customers are a competitive advantage that is difficult for others to replicate.

Instead of constantly chasing new leads, focus on delighting the customers you already have. This is the most sustainable path to long-term success.
