Figure out what a customer is worth to you over a
purchasing lifetime – the total, aggregate profit that
each customer can generate for you, minus all
advertising, marketing and service expenses!

If you are a bean counter, the exercise is technically known as reckoning an individual customer’s
“marginal net worth”

• Step 1: Calculate your
average sale and your
average profit per sale.
• Step 2: Compute how much
additional profit a customer
is worth to you by determining
how many times he or she
comes back. Be conservative.
• Step 3: Compute precisely
what a customer costs by
dividing your marketing budget
by the number of customers it
produces.
• Step 4: Compute the cost of
a prospect the same way.
• Step 5: Compute how many
sales you get for so many
prospects (that’s the percentage
of prospects who become
customers).
• Step 6: Compute the
marginal net worth of a
customer by subtracting the
cost to produce (or convert) a
customer from the profit you
expect to earn from a
customer over the lifetime of
patronage.
