It is 6-7 times more expensive to acquire a new customer than it is to keep a current one.
Securing new business takes a lot of time and resources. To put numbers to it, an oft-quoted Bain & Company study shows it costs six to seven times more to land a new customer than keep an existing one. Depending on your industry, some studies suggest it can be up to 25 times more expensive. Ouch.
On top of that, new customers just don’t spend like existing customers. The probability of selling to a new prospect is just 5-20%. The probability of selling to an existing customer, on the other hand, is 60 – 70%. Keeping current customers happy and turning detractors into advocates is smart business. You can’t afford not to make it a priority.
