Computing the Cost of Lost Customers Stew Leonard, who operates a highly profitable single-store
supermarket, says that he sees $50,000 flying out of his store every time he sees a dissatisfied 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.
$100 x 50 weeks x 10 years = $ 50 000
If this customer has an unhappy experience and switches to another supermarket. Stew Leonard has lost $50,000 in revenue. The loss can be much greater if the disappointed customer shares the bad experience with other customers and causes them to defect.
