The Two Fundamental Differences between Customers

1. Different value to the enterprise (Chapter 5)

2. Different needs from the enterprise (Chapter 6)

All other ways of differentiating customers – demographics, behaviors, transactional histories, and attitudes – are all tools and concepts used to get at these two fundamental differences

Why Differentiate?

To treat each customer differently is the essence of managing customer relationships

Different customers have different needs

Different customers represent different values to the enterprise

Customer value is future oriented

Actual value

Potential value

Customer differentiation helps an enterprise increase customers’ actual value and realize customers’ potential value

Customer Lifetime Value

LTV: The net present value of the expected future stream of financial contributions from the customer

LTV is calculated according to the customer’s trajectory: positive contributions (product and service purchases, as well as non-monetary referrals) minus expenses (cost of maintaining a relationship)

In practice, no company can calculate LTV precisely

Growing Share of Customer

Unrealized potential value:

The amount by which the enterprise could increase the value of a particular customer if it applied a strategy for doing so

Aspects of a customer’s unrealized potential value:

Business with competitor

Additional relevant product lines

Cost to serve

Undefined needs

Referrals and non-monetary contributions

Customer growth over time

Most Valuable Customers

Pareto principle: the top 20% usually accounts for 80% of company’s business

LTV is difficult to calculate, so some companies use a proxy variable to rank customers in rough order of LTV

RFM: most common proxy variable

R: Recency

F: Frequency

M: Monetary value

The goal of value differentiation is not a historical understanding, but a predictive plan of action

Customer Value Categories

Most Valuable Customers

Retain

Most Growable Customer

Grow

Low-Maintenance Customers

Streamline/automate services

Super-Growth Customers

Retain and mine for more

Below-zero customer

Make them profitable

Churn them out

Ethical concern: Should we “fire” unprofitable customers?

Dealing with Tough Customers

Four primary strategies:

1. Customize services and products

2. Innovate perpetually and cost-efficiently

3. Develop personal relationships within the customer organization

4. Appeal directly to end users

Managing the Mix of Customers

What kind of new customers should be acquired?

Mass-market method: All customers

Customer-strategy enterprise: More high-value and high-growth customers, less low-value customers

Creating a valuable customer base

Rank customer by value

Invest consistently in acquisition, development, and retention (get, keep, grow)

Use different strategy for differently valued customers
