- 6. How Salespeople Use Customer Information • To improve customer strategies • To grow, retain, or win customers • To maximize customer lifetime value (CLV) • Data about the customer is the fuel to the CLV engine
- 7. Customer Lifetime Value(CLV) • Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) a marketing metric that projects the value of a customer over the entire history of that customer's relationship with a company. It is the current value of the likely future income flow generated by an individual purchaser. • . It seeks to maximize profit by analyzing customer behavior and business cycles to identify and target customers with the greatest potential net value over time. A Profitable customer is one that overtime yields a revenue system that exceeds by an acceptable amount of the company's cost stream of attracting, selling and servicing that customer over time.
- 8. Calculating your Customer Lifetime Value: • To calculate CLV, you need to know three things, First, the estimated annual profits from that customer. Second, the duration of the business relationship with that customer. Third, the current discount rate. If you do not have the actual figures, then you will have to estimate. As the Customer Lifetime Value will have a significant impact on your bottom line, my advice is that you be prudent and conservative in your estimation.
- 9. • Let's say you have a customer who generates Rs3000 profit every year for next 10 years . If the current discount rate is 8%, then the customer life time value will be: CLV = i=10 Si 3000/1.08 i = 20,130.25 CLV = 3000/1.08 + 3000/1.08 2 + 3000/1.08 3 + 3000/1.08 4 + 3000/1.08 2 .... 3000/1.08 10 • This means that the customer is worth Rs 20,130 to you today!!

To begin with, company can use it to estimate the current value of all its customers. By knowing the current value of the customer, you can then segment customers into different categories. Segmenting helps to concentrate more on the profitable customers. For instance, discount brokerage company Charles Schwab answers its best customer's phone calls within 15 seconds while other customers have to wait for as long as 10 minutes to have their calls answered. Once customers are segmented based on profitability, you can tailor your offerings to various segments.
- 11. Segmenting Customers • Today, companies around the world are increasingly segmenting their customers in order to increase profitability. Segmenting helps companies to tailor their offerings to each of the segment.

Segmenting helps companies to allocate their marketing resources based on the customer value. Customer lifetime value give a formalised depiction of a long-term view of the customers and gives a better picture of what the company is going after.
- 13. Increasing customer retention. • Traditionally, most marketing theory an practice centers on attracting new customers rather than retaining existing ones. Since acquiring a new customer costs a lot more than retaining one, it is wise to measure customer satisfaction regularly. The key to customer retention is customer satisfaction. A highly satisfied customer stays loyal longer, buys more products or services, pays less attention to competing products or services, is less sensitive to price, offers product or service ideas to you, and costs less to serve than new customers. • To improve customer retention, you need to analyse customer defection. Analysis can start with the internal records such as sales log, point of sale receipts records etc. Next step would be to use market research such as bench marking studies and statistics.?
- 14. While analysing customer defection, some basic questions to ask are: • What are the retention norms for our industry? • What is the relationship between retention rates and changes in prices? • Where to lost customers go for the same products or services? • Is there a cyclical pattern for customer defection? • Does defection rate vary by region or sales representative or distributor? • Which company in our industry has the highest retention rate

To increase customer lifetime value, one has to increase the profits generated from that customer. The most common ways to achieve that is either to up-sell or to cross-sell to the same customer, i.e., make your existing customers buy more products from you and buy it more often. • It is noted that highly satisfied customers often recommend it to their friends, relatives and others. This recommendation results in new customers and referral sales. The cost of acquiring new customers by referrals is substantially lower than traditional methods. In the long run, high customer satisfaction results in lower customer acquisition costs and higher margins, thus increasing customer life time value.

- 20. Customer relationships are often divided into two categories. • In contractual or retention situations, customers who do not renew are considered "lost for good". Magazine subscriptions and car insurance are examples of customer retention situations. • The other category is referred to as customer migrations situations. In customer migration situations, a customer who does not buy (in a given period or from a given catalog) is still considered a customer of the firm because she may very well buy at some point in the future. • In customer retention situations, the firm knows when the relationship is over. • One of the challenges for firms in customer migration situations is that the firm may not know when the relationship is over (as far as the customer is concerned).

One Customer Relationship Style Does Not Fit All • While price and satisfaction in the product still dominate the customer's view of the seller, a third of them are seeking a greater connection. This third is why it is critical for businesses to refrain from defining their relationships in a monolithic fashion: Every customer views business relationships in individual terms. • Businesses need to realize that they are building different types of relationships with different sorts of customers. Each customer may be unique. However, it is possible to segment customers according to the relationships their behaviors indicate they desire -- and then attempt to craft communications and experiences that mesh with their expressed relationship style.
- 25. Customers Want Connection Mitch Lieberman, a noted blogger and vice president of marketing at Sword Ciboodle, has a mantra: "Customers do not want a relationship with your business. They want the benefits a relationship can offer to them.“ Did the customer get what he wanted or needed, and was the process of getting that frictionless -- and, perhaps, a little enjoyable? If the answer to both questions is yes, then the "relationship" is a good one from the customer's perspective.
