Episode notes
Lifetime Value Is The Core Metric
- Lifetime value (LTV) equals the total an average client spends over the relationship, not just the first project.
- Study high-LTV clients to find repeatable services and offerings that drive more revenue.
Invest In Acquisition Relative To LTV
- View marketing and acquisition costs as investments based on LTV rather than mere expenses.
- Increase what you spend to acquire clients when your LTV supports higher acquisition costs.
Higher LTV Enables Bolder Investment
- Higher average client value lets you comfortably spend more on acquisition and more ambitious sales efforts.
- Large firms accept huge upfront costs because potential single-project revenue justifies it.
