We recently collaborated with Vivian Allen, CEO at SigmaPro. Here we discuss pricing for retention vs acquisition and why long-term relationships win.

Vivian makes a sharp point: in industries like manufacturing, winning a customer is just the beginning. The real value comes from keeping them for decades. That shifts how you price, how you sell, and how you grow.

This ties directly to a deeper insight: growth accelerates when your teams align around shared outcomes like retention and lifetime value, not just new deals. When sales and marketing operate as one growth engine, you build relationships that compound over time.

For CEOs considering a book, this is powerful. The strongest books do not chase attention. They build enduring trust, just like retention-first businesses.

I dive deeper into this concept of aligning around long-term growth on page 116 of my bestselling business book Wisdom From Wizards, which just completed 22 weeks on the Amazon bestseller list. Check it out at:
