We are doing business for last eight years. With in first three year we lost our first batch of clients. Now we have client we are with us more than 4 years.
I remember that I had to get rid of my first two clients as fast as I activated their accounts !! ...happened to be Citibank and SunTrust 'phishing' sites that were setup by them.
Yes I still have my first paying client. When I started, I offered some free accounts to give me experience. Most of them are gone - but a few are still around.
