What's a Customer Worth?
excerpted from The Guerrilla Marketing Toolkit
by Jay Conrad Levinson and Mitch Meyerson

Take a minute to determine a critical marketing statistic: "What's the value of each of your customers over his or her lifetime?" Write down the answer and post it over your desk and share it with your employees.

Why is this statistic important?

Because the value of your customers helps you determine how much you might be willing to spend to acquire a new customer. And, just as important, it forces you to realize how much it costs you to lose a customer once you've got him or her!

Federal Express is a company that focuses on the value of a customer. If a mid-sized company sells 30 packages a week (at $25 each), that's $750 a week, or $18,750 a year. If a customer gets angry over a $25 shipment and switches his business to a competitor, Federal Express loses thousands and thousands of dollars. That's why every Federal Express supervisor is authorized to grant a $100 refund on the spot, no questions asked, for any delayed shipments. A hundred dollars is a small price to pay to keep an $18,750 a year customer.

To compute the value of a customer, answer these simple questions:

  1. If you continue to provide good service and quality, how long will the customer patronize your business?
  2. How much money will this customer spend on your products or service in a year?
  3. Multiply the amount of money spent in a year by the length of time this customer purchases your goods and/or services.
  4. The result is the lifetime value of this customer.

This number should be engraved on your forehead and you should share it with all your employees. It will help you focus on the critical elements of building your business.

The Guerrilla Marketing Toolkit takes you by the hand to increase your bottom line. Not only will you learn What A Customer Is Worth, you'll learn everything you need to know to keep them happy once you've got them.  Click here for the full scoop.

Your Coaching Fieldwork:  

Schedule some time this week to determine what a customer is worth to your business. As you look at the actual dollars, think of two ways to increase your level of customer service, then find a way to implement these strategies this week.


Guerrilla Marketing Tip

According to a recent study, a satisfied customer tells one friend, a dissatisfied one tells nine friends.  A Guerrilla interested in positive word of mouth needs to focus on service. It costs six times as much money to acquire a new customer, so it boils down to your bottom line to keep your current customers happy.
