All in Customer Lifetime Value

Calculating Customer Lifetime Value with Excel

There is no one correct way to build a customer life time value model, or actually any models. Today I’ll build the model base off the method created by Gupta and Lehman to calculate the customer value multiplier. Their method utilizes discount and retention rates to forecast a customer’s long-term value denoted by multiplier. A multiplier of three means that the customer’s long term value is three times the profit he generates during the first period.
