“No way,” says Anna Cage. “It takes
only one bad experience to lose a customer.”
Join this debate. You are a customer.
Are you loyal to any organizations? If so, how
many bad experiences will it take to overcome your
loyalty? Have you ever decided to withhold your
business from a store, restaurant, or other service
provider based on poor service? Do you usually
give an organization more than one chance to win
your business, or is one bad experience all it takes
to turn you off?
“You know you have hit the big time when the purple-
andorange-lettered Federal Express (FedEx) truck driven by a
smiling courier pulls into your driveway or walks up your
stairwell and hands you the purple-and-orange envelope.
First off, it’s always a blessed relief to get what’s inside, because
it absolutely, positively had to get there.”
“Fred Smith, a 20-year-old sophomore at Yale University,
understood this characteristic of American culture when he
thought up his topic for his business class project. We all know

overnight delivery of documents anywhere in the country by
means of a fleet of airplanes flying to a hub system converging DISCUSSION

his buddies thought he was lucky. But it took more than full faith
in a sophomore’s brainchild to make FedEx what it is today. The

Perhaps the most famous case illustrating the enormous
cost of winning back lost customers is that of the
“Tylenol Murders.” Seven people in the Chicago area died
suddenly after taking Tylenol capsules. An investigation
revealed that the capsules had been laced with cyanide, a
deadly poison. When the story ran on the nightly news
programs, a nationwide panic ensued that caused
Tylenol’s sales to plummet overnight. Many business
analysts predicted that Tylenol’s manufacturer, Johnson
& Johnson, would not survive the tragedy. Johnson &
Johnson surprised the analysts by undertaking one of DISCUSSION
