Customers coming back on their own: unsolicited repeat business has become the engine
The model's full reasoning — Q1 2024 call → NOThe question is: Does management describe that the company's business is now being driven meaningfully by customers RETURNING TO BUY AGAIN WITHOUT BEING RE-SOLD — existing customers coming back on the...YES Management describes this through the cohort analysis of existing Freight Forwarders (buyers) whose bookings increase significantly over time after joining, driven by more carrier choices, coverage, and "strong retention." They treat this as observable proof that the platform is working, with repeat engagement now a growing driver of current results rather than 100% new-customer acquisition. The 29% transaction growth versus 11% unique buyer growth further implies more activity per existing user. This is presented as a real, strengthening feature of the business today. No other transcript section contradicts or overrides this framing. The answer is therefore YES.

TJX · Q2 2021 → YESThe question is: Does management describe that the company's business is now being driven meaningfully by customers RETURNING TO BUY AGAIN WITHOUT BEING RE-SOLD — existing customers coming back on the...YES The transcript shows management describing existing customers returning and shopping more frequently as a real, observable driver of current results (loyal customers returning and shopping more often, plus rising average ticket and traffic), while treating it as evidence of market-share capture rather than a hope or future initiative. This meets the criteria for a meaningful, 2021-specific repeat behavior. The emphasis on new shoppers and competitor closures is present but does not override the explicit return statement. No contractual lock-in or churn discussion appears. Therefore the answer is YES.

In fact, it was our highest rate of reregistering students in more than seven years of this internal measure." James Rhyu confirms: "we picked up a couple of a few hundred basis points improvement in rereg.
