It’s one of the reasons that we all benefit from good mentors, who really understand “how things work.” This particular skill is the ability to understand the human dynamics of the business, office or industry well enough to navigate a good idea up the chain.

The survey revealed that 68% quit because of an attitude of indifference toward the customer by the owner, manager or some employee. When considering the life time value of a customer, studies indicate it costs roughly 300 to 700 times an hourly worker’s rate.
