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

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
