Don’t Let “Experience” Be the Spoilsport in Your Customer Acquisition and Retention Plan
While I was not yet fully recovered from a recent move into a house near my office, I had to kick-start a linear array of daunting tasks to transfer my internet, telephone and cable television accounts to the new address.
