Client Attrition Analytics: Firms Can Control Whether Clients Stay or Go
While the managers of professional services firms often view market pressures as the driving force that determines whether clients remain loyal or choose to shop elsewhere for added services, a study by the Redwood Think Tank indicates that firms have tremendous sway over which clients become long-term business partners.
Cracking the Acorn Theory: Do Small Clients Grow to be Big Clients
If your firm's growth strategy depends at all on growing small clients into larger, more profitable clients, think hard about the likelihood that this will happen. Competitive intelligence can help identify which clients have the best chance of becoming major clients, as well as improve the likelihood that such clients will be retained in the crucial, early years of the client relationship.

But understanding the urgency to adopt or update a profitability model doesn't guarantee its successful implementation.
