Preview
Many successful businesses have a revenue concentration problem they don't fully acknowledge. One customer represents 40%, 50%, sometimes 60% of revenue. It's usually not a problem — until it is. Until that customer goes quiet. Until their business changes direction. Until they get acquired and consolidate vendors. Until they decide to bring the work in-house or try a competitor.
The moment your biggest customer represents too much of your revenue, you're no longer running a business. You're running a customer that happens to have a business around it. And that customer knows it. It changes the dynamic. They have leverage. You can't push back on scope. You can't say no to unreasonable requests. You're always anxious about contract renewal.
The solution isn't necessarily to lose the customer. It's to systematically reduce your dependence on them while making them a more valuable strategic partner. But that requires a specific approach — one that most businesses don't have.
