Final Thoughts

• Influence is a verb, not a noun.

• Start with a focus on the customer’s decision making process, not the influencer.

• Manage influence campaigns across the entire life cycle, not just for acquisition.

• Measure influence marketing activity against customer lifetime value.

• The value of a customer is not his/her contracts but the sum of their relationships and the resulting impact on the CLV.
