Reducing Switching Costs: A Key Strategy for Accounting and Other “Ongoing Service” Providers

I exchanged a few emails last week with Direct marketing legend Drayton Bird (how’s that for a name drop!).

After my last post where I talked about the benefits of establishing authority, one reader rightly posed the question: “what’s the difference between authority and expertise?” It’s a good question. We all feel intuitively that authority implies something more than expertise – but it’s [...]
