Custom governs the world; it is the tyrant of our feelings and our manners and rules the world with the hand of a despot. (Quote by - J. Bartlett)

Profits are related to customer retention. Customer retention is related to employee retention. Employee retention may or may not be related to benefits, but benefits could be part of the package that causes people to stay and -- by the way -- engage in discretionary effort. .. If you go into any organization that's customer-facing, you can tell in five minutes when the employees are feeling abused. They retaliate on the customers. (Quote by - Jeffrey Pfeffer)

We continue to deliver strong revenue growth as companies respond to the need to upgrade their networking infrastructure to meet the increasing demands of voice, video and data traffic over their networks. Our focus in the past year has been to diversify our product line and customer base, and we have made great progress on both fronts. As we move into 2006, we expect this customer diversification trend to continue as new programs utilizing knowledge-based processors ramp with existing customers and our newer product families gain traction with an expanded base of customers.

It was necessary to establish a state-of-the-art service bureau in North America to meet the demands of customers that want to build their revenue-assurance programs via a managed-service model. The 'pay as you go', value-driven alternative to traditional licenses provides customers with a low-risk, low-cost deployment option to large, up-front capital expenditures. Customers can choose a system that they own and operate themselves or a bureau that Azure manages on their behalf. (Quote by - Steven Bruny)

The fact that we have such a small customer base continues to be our biggest weakness here. Take a place like Richmond, where they've got one treatment plant, and 100,000 customers - and here we're trying to do four treatment plants with 7,000 customers. The cost impact per customer is significantly higher for small facilities. (Quote by - Ken Fanfoni)

Custom is the plague of wise men and the idol of fools. (Quote by - Thomas Fuller)

Compliance is definitely a big driver of this. One fundamental [Sarbanes-Oxley requirement] is, if it is a public company, to report to Wall Street how many customers you have; because people are making investment decisions as to whether your customer base is going up or down. If you have no idea how many customers you have because you have acquired different companies, then you potentially have a compliance issue there. (Quote by - John Radcliffe)
