Never lost a client and don’t need to advertise for new business because shocking as it seems doing good work actually gets you more work.
I don’t know if an software engineering company’s relationship to clients is very fitting to this example of non-commercial end-user consumerism of physical products. I mean, I agree with you, but I don’t get the feeling your company does many physically shipped sales and your company probably mostly works other small companies.

It’s a rat race. If you don’t, someone will and you lose.
Lose what?
