Successful companies also excel in customer relationship management- leading to repeat sales, higher profit margins, and lower costs to acquire new customers.

Third, Successful companies have enough capital to execute their plans and support their operations. For example, most companies need cash to purchase land, buildings, equipment, and materials.
