Did you see the article in CFO Europe magazine called "Keeping Bad Apples?" (We referenced it, along with your column, in a recent post at http://www.CPASuccess.com.) It cites a Wharton School study that implies businesses should actually KEEP bad clients, because it makes competitors less likely to poach their clients. Interesting theory, but I'm not sure I buy it. Great column, Rick.
