CLTV: The North Star Metric
CLTV serves as the golden benchmark for pricing decisions because it captures the whole lifetime relationship value. To calculate an accurate CLTV, companies need robust data on customer acquisition costs, churn rates, average order value, gross margin percentage and time between purchases. Monthly or quarterly recalculations keep the metric dynamic as customer behavior changes. Over time, CLTV even factors in potential referrals and their value.
Anatomy of High and Low Value Segments
Proper customer segmentation based on attributes that drive value is key. Analyze purchasing trends, contract lengths, upsell/cross-sell rates, support needs and more to group customers. Identify top 20% profit drivers to understand what makes them unique – and target similar profiles aggressively. Likewise, dissect underperformers to avoid acquiring similar risky clients or tweak approach.
Acquisition optimized by CLTV
Model acquisition funnels testing creative, channels, pricing, packaging to lure high-value prospects identified in segmentation. Prioritize high-intent, better qualified leads most likely to repay investment within a set period. Optimize paid search bids, sales materials accordingly. For high-risk segments, pursue low-cost self-service options over commissions.
Engagement Strategies to Deepen Relationships
