Course Overview

A message about customer lifetime value that tries to reach everyone reaches nobody. Attribution in this area of marketing and commercial practice is imperfect; that is not a reason to stop measuring it. Exercises escalate in difficulty, ending with the ambiguous situations that make the marketing and commercial practice discipline hard in practice. Comparative studies of customer lifetime value across sectors find the same handful of failure points recurring. The content is relevant to those who own the practice within marketing and commercial practice and to those who are held accountable for its results. Participants gain a clear basis for measuring what this part of marketing and commercial practice has actually achieved. Most organisations already have a policy on customer lifetime value; far fewer can show it working. The course covers this area of marketing and commercial practice at the level of detail needed to act, and stops there. It closes by agreeing the smallest change to the marketing and commercial practice discipline that would make a visible difference.
