STEW LEONARD who operates a highly profitable five-store supermarket in Connecticut and New York, once said that he sees $50,000 flying out of his store every time he sees a sulking customer. Why? Because his average customer spends about $100 a week, shops 50 weeks a year, and remains in the area for about 10 years. If this customer has an unhappy experience and switches to another supermarket, Stew Leonard's has lost $50,000 in lifetime revenue (CLV). The loss can be much great if the disappointed customer shares the bad experience with other customers and causes them to defect.
