business over their lifetime – which starts with a new customer’s first purchase or
contract and ends with the “moment of churn.”
Understanding CLV can help your business answer these critical questions:

acquisition?

2. How much should we spend on customer service to retain an existing


customer?

3. Who are our most valuable customers and how can we better target this
demographic for future sales?
