Increasing Availability of Customer Lifetime Value Tools

CRM vendors are now providing the ability to calculate a customer lifetime value of a customer based on various criteria. One model offered by Worldtrak determines the customer lifetime value on a formula based on the recency, frequency, and monetary values for a customer.

  • Recency— amount of recent purchases by the customer.

  • Frequency— the frequency of purchases by a customer.

  • Monetary values— the monetary values of purchases by a customer.

Likely impact of this trend: The ability to track customer lifetime value and to segment customers more precisely for eventual offering of unique services and products depending on their current and perceived value.
