Abstract: Abstract Sustainable companies do all they can to always have customers. They constantly study the characteristics and expectations of existing and potential customers because they want to understand their needs and desires better in order to propose them the best offer always. They know that the proposed benefit of a product must always be considered from the customer’s perspective, never that of the firm. Enduring firms focus on a limited number of market segments rather than indiscriminately taking a global pool of customers. One of their secrets is to select profitable customers and avoid others, based on their long-term value. Sustainable companies master also the ways to keep their customers loyal for a long time. One central element is their unique ability to communicate with customers around the corporate brand.
