Just How Big Is A Customer...?
That’s not an easy one to answer. Because when it comes to
making products for others to buy and use, customers come in all
sizes. Important point is that no matter how large or how small,
those of us who produce the goods, consider our jobs big business
with any customer.
When it comes to discussing the size of a
customer, there are some dimensions that
are mighty important.
For example, a customer is big enough
to be rated the most important person in
any business; to be not so much dependent
upon the manufacturer as the manufacturer
Miss Betty Little, daughter of Lathe Operator Cramer Little,
^nd Mrs. Little, received a Masters Degree in social work from
'Tulane University, New Orleans, at the recent commencement. Her
Parents attended the graduation program.
mmnj
Mr. and Mrs. Will A. Brown had as recent week-end guests the
^ev. and Mrs. B. Oeon Brown of Summerfield, N. C., and Mrs, R, L,
Solomon and son of Concord, N, C,
is dependent upon him. For us, the manu
facturer, the customer is big enough to be
the very purpose of our work.
A customer is big enough to decide what
caliber of work we do and how much we
get paid. But he’s willing to pay us what
we’re worth to him.
He is so big that he can afford to be super
independent. If we don’t do the job to his
satisfaction, he’ll find somebody who will.
A customer is big enough to back us to
the limit so long as we do a good job for
him.
