And Jay agrees: \u201cIt's better business,\u201d he says, \u201cto make your customers happier than to keep trying to find new customers.\u201d But Paul has his doubts: \u201cYou can have your internal house in order, as I do,\u201d he says. \u201cAnd you can have a great website, as I do. But it's not driving new business to us at the moment.\u201d Plus: Shawn, Paul, and Jay react to recently publicized strategies to address the labor shortage, such as giving out raises more than once a year and encouraging new employees to take a vacation before they start work.
