Member Of West Babylon Fire Department Recognized As Suffolk County Healthcare Hero
The Suffolk County Legislature recognized (18) Healthcare Heroes honorees, for their exceptional service and contributions they have made to our communities. Legislator Steven J. Flotteron recognized West Babylon Fire Department member Jalen Jones for the 11th Legislative District.
Jones joined the Department in September 2020 and obtained his Emergency Medical Technician (EMT)

The Value Of Repeat Customers
Small business owners no doubt recognize the value of repeat customers, but few may recognize just how valuable such customers can be to their bottom lines. A study from researchers at Harvard Business School found that a customer’s eighth purchase was an average of 80 percent higher than his or her first purchase. In addition, a survey from the strategic planning, marketing and sales consultants Altfeld, Inc. found that the probability of selling to an existing customer is between 60 and 70 percent, while that probability shrinks to as low as 5 percent for new customers. Customer retention strategies like offering superior customer service and seeking input from customers can help small businesses generate more repeat customers, which can greatly improve their chances for long-term success.
