Law360, New York (November 19, 2014, 11:17 AM EST) -- Imagine that your hotel has hired a sales staff to develop conference or resort business. You have paid that sales staff to develop relationships with companies, travel agents and other key people. After years of work and expensive networking, 30 percent of your revenue is now tied to those relationships. Those contacts and relationships are all in a database on your computer. Things are going so well that you hire another sales representative. Six months later he leaves and goes to a competitor. Then you discover he took that database to the new job. Within six months, your revenue from conference or resort business falls by 20 percent. Those customers are now going to your competitor. That is not fair and it is upsetting. What could you have done to stop that from happening? What can you do now?...
