Deep dives

Differentiating investments based on customer lifecycle

Investments should be categorized based on the customer lifecycle stages: creating demand, capturing intent, converting pipeline, and expanding accounts. By categorizing investments in this way, companies can assess the balance or imbalance of their investments across these stages and make strategic adjustments. For example, a company that overspends on customer marketing despite most revenue coming from net new business can identify the need to rebalance their investments.
