"Studies have shown that 68% of customers leave because of a perceived attitude of indifference on the part of the company. Perception is everything." Forbes My guest this week, Joe Kenemore, CEO of Mailbox Power, says that is an absolute shame. Especially when his company makes it so easy and inexpensive to show your best clients a little love once or twice a year.
