new products impact growth

existing customers
and existing products

Real Organic growth shows a
different picture
Knowing our true organic growth
rate is important
It represents how well we are converting
historical investment into wealth
It tells us where we should invest in the
future (which product, what customer, which supplier relationship, what
sales channel)
How much effort and cost do we
spend on new stuff when the
existing products and customers
are declining ?
Average loss rate of new customers
that stop buying within 6 months 35%
Why is organic growth good
Its with customers that we have
already paid dearly to acquire
Its with products and
services that we know
Good growth
Time to do some good
We want to be the best there is at
organic growth
