Look for Impact
Basic Business Metrics Lifetime Value of a Customer = (Longevity * Revenue) * Margin Conversion Rate = New Customers/  Visits or Leads Value of a Lead/Visitor =  Visitor  * Conversion Rate * Lifetime Value
OK, Let’s Make it Real Typical customer Curly spends $10,000/year with you Curly is with you for five years Your profit margin is 10% Lifetime value of Curly is ($10,000 * 5) * .1 = $5,000
CRM Essentials Must be used by  everyone  who touches the customer Must document online, offline and landline communications Must span the engagement lifecycle Must enable segmentation and grouping
Web Analytics Must track individual visitors Must document paths to desired destinations Must identify referring sources You must use them
Applying ROI: Value of a Visitor Monthly Visitors 10,000 Conversion Rate .5% Lifetime Value $5,000 Calculation (10,000 * .005 * 5)/10,000 Value of a Visitor $25
Value of a Blog Monthly Search Traffic 3,000 Estimated Traffic w/Blog 4,000 Value of a Visitor $25 Monthly Value of a Blog $25,000 Monthly Blog Expense $6,000 ROI  ($25,000-$6,000)/$6,000 316%
Value of Twitter ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],(1,000 * .02 * .05 * 5000)/50 =  $100
Value of a Community You want to launch a customer support forum to reduce your costs of telephone support Estimated admin costs: ½ FTE yr 1, ¼ FTE yr 2 1/10 FTE yr 3 Estimated savings: 1 FTE yr 1, 1.5 FTE yr 2, 2 FTE yr 3 Year Item Annual Cumulative 1 Forum Administrative costs $  35,000  $  35,000  Savings $  70,000  $  70,000  ROI 100% 100% 2 Forum Administrative costs $  17,500  $  52,500  Savings $  105,000  $  175,000  ROI 500% 233% 3 Forum Administrative costs $  7,000  $  59,500  Savings $  140,000  $  315,000  ROI 1900% 429%
