Client & Sales

Client Lifetime Value

Definition

The total revenue a single client generates over your entire relationship. A client paying $5K/month on retainer for 18 months has a CLV of $90K.

Why It Matters

Acquiring a new client costs 5-7x more than retaining one. CLV tells you how much you can afford to spend on acquisition.
