Your Company’s Biggest Asset
Surprisingly, few such lists would include the number-one most valuable asset you have: your customers.
We’ve all heard the expression “Cash flow is the lifeblood of every business.” Well, guess where cash flow comes from? Customers are the most valuable asset you have, because with the proper nurturing and care, they will help you reach higher and higher levels of growth and success.
The loss of customers can have a devastating effect on a company’s balance sheet. Many companies lose many customers every day for a number of reasons, and they don’t even know it. Most savvy business owners recognize that they would rather lose their equipment, inventory, or even personnel before losing their customers. You see, as long as you have a great relationship with your customers, you can survive just about anything.
As I’ve mentioned many times before, companies willingly spend huge amounts of money to obtain a new customer or client. In fact, some companies actually break even or lose money on the initial transaction because they realize the lifetime value of a satisfied customer.
The correct way to think about your customers in regards to your balance sheet is this: you have made an investment in each and every customer, and it is your responsibility to derive the maximum return on investment that you can from each and every customer.
