A firm that keeps clients five years instead of eighteen months can spend five times more on acquiring new customers and still undercut competitors. That math advantage compounds until rivals can't afford to compete.

These are the businesses that can way outspend everybody else on marketing, because let's say you charge $1,000 a month, the other guy charges $1,000 a month, but his average client stays for 18 months and your average client stays for five years. Well, you can outspend him five to one on marketing. And so you can basically put him out of business that way because your people stick around so much longer.
