Have you ever wondered where all the customers have gone? Gosh, let’s hope not! But stick with me here. Is acquiring new customers becoming a challenge?

I thought I’d have a little fun—along with a lot of seriousness—and list some signs that you might watch for ahead of time to figure out when customers (existing or prospective) just aren’t that into you (anymore). And when, perhaps, the relationship is just not a good fit.

So, here they are: 19 signs customers aren’t that into you—ever or anymore.

No public displays of affection (PDA). They’ve stopped writing reviews about how much they love doing business with you, and they don’t recommend you to their friends any more.

You’re not friends on social media. They no longer follow you (or never have) on Twitter, Facebook, or any other social media platform.

They talk about their exes. They start comparing you to companies they’ve previously done business with: Company X used to do this or that for me; Company Y doesn’t.

They talk to their exes. They start considering companies with which they’ve previously done business. Was it too painful? Is it worth going back there?
