Abstract: | The key to success in service business now lies with concentrating on, and retaining, existing customers. Marketing therefore must be seen as a total approach with the customer firmly at the centre. The present article describes the relationship marketing ladder as the progression from conversion of a prospect into a customer, then into a client, from a client to supporter, to advocate, and, finally, to partner. The paper outlines the economic benefits of retaining customers. |
