Channel Eye has joined forces with Royston Guest, leading Business Growth Coach and CEO/Founder of Pathways Global, in our column, ‘Ask the Business Coach’
How much of my revenue should I spend on marketing is the wrong question. The right question is ‘what is a new customer worth to us?’.
The big three takeaways!
- Know the lifetime value of a customer
- Know the payback period of a new customer
- Know how much you’re prepared to pay to acquire a new customer
