]]> Comment on Five steps to understanding customer retention by Tom Lutzenberger http://nxteramarketing.wordpress.com/2007/12/04/five-steps-to-understanding-customer-retention/#comment-285 Tom Lutzenberger Sat, 14 Jun 2008 01:51:28 +0000 http://nxteramarketing.wordpress.com/2007/12/04/five-steps-to-understanding-customer-retention/#comment-285 Bravo! You just managed to merge the concept of statistics/metrics and marketing into one common sense approach! The two fields generally dislike each other. Marketing wants to be fluid and focus on ads, concepts, demographics, promotions, etc., while statistics is about as dry as accounting. It is the record of being (unless of course you get into probability). But the two really go hand-in-hand when developing a good, tight marketing plan and realistic expectations. And customer retention is a key part of a good plan for success. We're going to crosslink your post so our readers can enjoy this piece as well. Bravo!
