  John Gamble

  Founder of Tenacity, Inc. and co-creator of the Clients for Life® client retention process. For 30 years, John has been helping services management companies increase profitability by dramatically improving client retention rates. John founded the company in 1986 shortly after serving as Vice President of Marketing for the Healthcare Nutrition Services division of Aramark Corporation. While at Aramark, John was challenged by a lack of available third party consulting expertise to help service companies stem client attrition and improve relationships with existing clients so he developed the Clients for Life client retention process to fill this void. Today, John is widely regarded as one of the nation’s leading authorities on client retention.

  Steve Wurzbacher

  A Principal in Tenacity, Inc. and co-creator of the Clients for Life® client retention process. Steve joined Tenacity in 1994, after serving in senior sales, marketing and development roles at Procter & Gamble and Aramark. Steve joined Aramark’s Healthcare Division in 1984 as Vice President of Sales. John joined the company a few months later. Together, they came to the inevitable conclusion that “You simply can’t sell your way out of a client retention problem.” Their subsequent focus on client retention has saved Tenacity’s clients hundreds of millions of dollars by reducing attrition and creating loyalty.
