The author details the importance of CLV as a metric in a marketer's toolkit and how it is relevant to managing customers and this book answers the following questions: What is the value of a customer? Can customers be evaluated based only on their past contribution to the firm? Which metric is better in identifying the future worth of the customer? These are the questions a firm has to deal with before assessing the value of its customers.
