They were the born leaders we all grew up with. I meant this post to be more of a thinking exercise than a choosing-up sides and fighting till the bitter end drill.

Lost Ancillary Revenue : On average, a single account is good for a 30 -40% cross-sell and up-sell revenue increase over time as new products, services, joint ventures etc. Over a 10 year period of time, assuming only 2 annual referrals, without any cross-sell or up-sell value being added-in, you just lost another $200,000 dollars.

My advice to you is not to let your business get caught up in embracing random ideas – at least not without some initial analysis being conducted to determine the likelihood of success.
