MSI Webinar: The Customer Asset: Understanding and Managing its Value
Marketers have an opportunity to explain the financial value of customers but need to use a definition of Customer Lifetime Value that is consistent, credible, and widely applicable. This webinar, which follows our recent book on the subject, will discuss how to create customer valuations that are usable by a wide range of managers and for a variety of tasks. These tasks include customer acquisition and retention, corporate valuation, as well as internal and external reporting. We believe this will help managers justify their investments in customers and boost the accountability of marketing.
