Everyone in business has been told that success is all about attracting and retaining(留住) customers. It sounds simple and achievable. But,
41
, words of wisdom are soon forgotten. Once companies have attracted customers they often
42
the second half of the story. In the excitement of beating off the competition, negotiating prices, securing orders, and delivering the product, managers
43
become carried away. They forget what they regard as the boring side of business---
44
that the customer remains a customer.
45
to concentrate on retaining as well as attracting customers costs business huge amounts of money annually. It has been estimated that the
46
company loses between 10 and 30 percent of its customers every year. In constantly changing
47
, this is not surprising. What is surprising is the fact that few companies have any idea how many customers they have lost.
Only now are organizations beginning to wake up to these lost opportunities and calculate the
48
implications.
49
the number of customers a company loses can make a big
50
in its performance. Research in the US found that a five percent decrease in the number of defecting(流失的) customers led to
51
increases of between 25 and 85 percent.
In the US, Domino’s Pizza estimates that a regular customer is
52
more than five thousand dollars over ten years. A customer who receives a poor quality product or
53
on their first visit and
54
never returns, is losing the company thousands of dollars in
55
profits (more if you consider how many people they are likely to tell about their bad experience).
The logic behind cultivating customer
56
is impossible to deny. “In practice most companies’ marketing effort is focused on getting customers, with little attention paid to
57
them”, says Adrian Payne of Cornfield University’s School of Management. “Research suggests that there is a close relationship between retaining customers and making profits.
58
customers tend to buy more, are predictable and usually cost less to service than new customers. Furthermore, they tend to be less price
59
, and may provide free word-of-mouth advertising. Retaining customers also makes it
60
for competitors to enter a market or increase their share of a market.”

I tend to accept any idea put forward by experts on TV. One day, a sociologist(社會學家) proposed that the
36
society has been consuming modern humans little by little. For fear that I would become a victim of the consumer society, I
37
hurried to a bicycle shop in my neighborhood.
38
the shopkeeper Mr. Johnson was selling me the bicycle, he said, “This is the best thing you
39
have done. Life has become hopelessly
40
. A bicycle is simple, and it brings to you
41
things: fresh air, sunshine and exercise.” I agreed. Happy as a child, I got on the bicycle and headed out onto the streets. After some time, I
42
at the other end of the town. I was
43
that this simple vehicle could let me
44
long distances in a fairly short time. But how
45
did I really go?
Since I hated to be
46
, I went back to Mr. Johnson and asked him to
47
an odometer (里程表) on my bicycle. He agreed, but
48
, “An odometer without a speedometer (速度計) is like a
49
without a knife.” I admitted he was right and in a few minutes, the two devices (裝置) were
50
to the handlebars of my bicycle. “What about a horn?” he then asked. “Look, this horn is no larger than a matchbox and has many
51
.” Attracted by these functions, I bought the horn.
“You can’t leave the back part
52
,” noted Mr. Johnson. He fixed a metal box with buttons
53
the seat, and said, “Is there anything better than this oven(烤箱) when you feel
54
on your way? I can give you a special discount.” I was not strong enough to
55
the offer.
“I congratulate you once more; this is the best thing you could have done,” said Mr. Johnson in the end.
