Home Business Initiatives Profitability Customer Profitability
Customer profitability, simply defined, is the difference between the revenues earned from, and the total costs associated with, a customer over a specified period of time. Typically a very small percentage of your firm’s best customers account for a large portion of your net profits. Conversely, a small percentage of your customers usually cost more to serve than the revenue they deliver. These unprofitable customers detract from overall firm profitability. Profit winners and profit losers are a natural consequence of variability in revenues and the true cost-to-serve your customers. With customer profitability insight, you benefit from knowing exactly which customers create value, which destroy value and why.
