      MAIN IDEA

      Most people are familiar with the concept of return on investment – how well a firm creates added value from a given investment. There is, however, no equivalent metric which measures how well a company creates value from its most scarce and therefore most valuable asset – its customers. Return on customer (ROC) is a new business metric which is designed to measure the amount of value a business creates by acquiring, retaining and then growing its customer base. It is calculated in this way:

      where:

      Current period cash flow is the revenue the company will generate in this period through the sale of products and services.

      Customer equity is the net present value of all cashflows the company expects to generate from customers over their lifetimes.

      Change in customer equity is the increase or decrease generated in this period by the actions of the company.

      When ROC is positive, your firm is creating value from your customer base, either by increasing sales in the current period or by enhancing the likelihood the customer will do more business with your firm in the future. This lifetime value of future business is captured by changes in customer equity, which in essence is the current discounted-cash-flow value of a customer’s future business. Conversely, when ROC is negative, your firm is destroying customer equity or customer lifetime value, making it less likely you will be able to generate profits from your customer base in the future.

      Return on customer represents the costs and trade-offs which are inherent in business. For example, if a firm carries out an aggressive telemarketing campaign, it might increase current period sales but also erode the likelihood customers will buy again in the future. That harm to the customer lifetime value won’t be captured by any
