Its all about the little things, Feb 4 2008
I am surprised there are not more reviews of this book. It is a classic. Anyone who sells or owns a business or has a customer should read it. The following is an excerpt from my blog on it. Just for background, I started my business from scratch years ago so had just me and my car and built it to hundreds of staff and now over $1 Billion in sales. Awesome book. I need to figure out how to apply the lessons to a larger company. The lessons apply perfectly to a small company that sells to the public. Makes me think I should start a small business. The same principals apply to a larger company like SYNNEX. People often ask me what the secret to computer distribution is. The answer is summed up by a quote from the book :"everyone is trying to accomplish something big not realizing life is made up of the little things" (Quote by Frank Clark). Distribution is all about the little things.

Every small business owner should read this book!, Dec 30 2001
This review is from: How to Win Customers and Keep Them for Life, Revised Edition (Paperback)
One of the deadliest mistakes in small business (even worse in large corporations) is to ignore your "back end" sales. By "back end" I mean additional (larger) sales made to your customers. The only way to continue to market to your customer base is if they are happy with you. Dr. Michael LeBoeuf has spelled out a plan for turning "satisfied" customers (those quiet customers who never complain) into "loyal" customers (those customers who are hyper-responsive to your offers). I especially enjoyed the startling statistics in the "Something to Think About" section. It points out in a dramatic fashion just how much money dissatisfied customers can be costing your business and how hard it is to detect unhappy customers. I give this book my highest recommendation...especially to small business owners.
