if you have been in business for years why do you always seem to talk about how to get business surley you must have contracts and regulars if you are any good that is?

I don't know why but a lot of my customers seem to be dying lately :'( :'(
so I need to constantly find new ones :)

Perhaps it's the clients you go for, a 10% discount for OAP's will get them running (don't laugh) but all customers have an expiry date.

it is reckoned you lose 20% of your customer base per year. This is due to moving, dying etc. Thats not to say the other 80% is going to use you again anyway.

It is all the same thing...
One week/ year/ month you are flavour of the moment, next they forget who you are. It is a constant, transient business.
Anyone in this business knows that.
I am mobbed at the moment and can barely keep up, yet I might be dead next week/ Month/ year, plus you get yearly fluctuations, people move, people who handle the contracts move on, people die, fall out with you etc, etc ad infinitum
Welcome to business
