The Leaky Bucket Problem — You are Losing Customers Without Even Realizing It

Imagine trying to fill a bucket with water, only to realize there are small holes leaking water out as fast as you pour it in. No matter how much water you add, the bucket will never fill unless you find and fix the leaks. This is the reality many businesses face today, but instead of water, it’s customers who are slipping away—often unnoticed.

This "leaky bucket problem" occurs when businesses unintentionally lose customers due to overlooked inefficiencies or poor experiences in the customer journey. These leaks might seem insignificant on their own, but together, they result in lost revenue, decreased customer loyalty, and wasted marketing efforts.

We’ll also show how REDS tools like the REDS Platform, REDS Web Apps, REDS Commanders, REDS Chatbot Platform, and REDS AISEO can help you plug these leaks and retain your hard-earned customers.
