Abstract
"We love our customers" is a mantra expressed by all companies today, and yet the actions of these same companies often indicate the very opposite. Truth be told, this statement represents more of a euphemism than a statement of truth. Why is this, and why do many of us continue to rebuke our customers' loyalty when the most profitable and rewarding business relationships are the ones we have already established?
