Using predictive analytics to manage customer base value / Maxim Mozgovoy
Director of CRM, Wargaming
Happy and satisfied loyal customers are the foundation of well-being for many companies. However, customer churn is rarely the subject of close attention — usually we see a decrease in revenue. And we think, respectively, of its increase, rather than retaining users and managing the client base. This leads to the fact that many companies are forced to spend resources on attracting one person several times.
In his speech, Maxim talked about what a customer base is, what its value is, and how to use it as a basis for client strategy. Maxim also spoke about metrics and KPI systems for solving value management problems.
