Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I do this exercise?

Every 6 months.

How do I keep a dominant customer and grow my sales?

Separate your customers into two groups. Keep the dominant customer as its own entity in one group and all the others in the other group. In effect, you'll be operating two businesses sharing some common resources.

How do I make non-profitable customers profitable?

Increase their price to a profitable level. If they leave you, replace them with a new  A or B customer.

Where do I find this information?

In your financial results. Using a financial software package like Sage Pastel or Quickbooks makes it a lot easier for you.
