Customers You DON'T Want

Yes, you read that right. Even in today's economic climate, there are customers your company doesn't want. This is a philosophy DLA has always ascribed to, as we are committed to focusing our time and effort on our high-quality clients. For us, those clients are defined as:
  • forward-thinking,
  • progressive,
  • offering a well-defined product or service,
  • committed to marketing,
  • mid-sized and growing,
  • are coachable and,
  • have accessible leadership.
