Good news: you can measure the ROI of ANY relationship

4 Cases
Case study 1: The rich husband
The stats upfront

Length of relationshipCash transaction amount per yearProfit per transactionUnderstanding of stocks vs. flowsCost of investment to initiate relationship
Length of relationship?
5 years
Revenue per year:
$100k
$1MM $1 MM
$10K
$100k
Profit per yearly transactions
$900k $900k
$-90k
Marriage lifetime value
2006 2007 2008 2009 2010
Revenue
Costs x year
Profit x year
$100k $1 MM $1 MM $100k $10k
1 time acquisition cost
Year 0
-$100k
-$100k -$100k -$100k -$100k -$100k
$0 $900k $900k $0 $-90k+ + + +
$100k- = $1.61 MM$1.71 MM
$100k= 11.1x
Successful relationship?
11.1 x return
Case study 2: Skippy
$50 x 12 months x 14 years
$300 x 14 years
$20 x 12 months x 14 years
Skippy lives for 14 years
- $8,400
- $4,200
- $3,360
= - $15,960
Initial cost: $2,000
Revenue: $0
Lifetime cost: $-15,960
ROI = $15,960 - $2,000 = $-17,960
$2,000= -898%

ROI Conclusion:
What is the problem with measuring the transactional cost of a relationship?
What we value most are the transactions that cannot be measured. Immeasurable. Beyond measure. Priceless.

Case study 3: Value of a Facebook fan
Value of a fan:
Vitrue: $3.60 (earned media)
Syncapse: $136.38 (layer cake of value)
Cost of a fan:
Webtrends: $1.07\
\
The value of a fan:
Problem with value of a fan view
Fans andcustomers
Customers who are not
on FB
“Fans” who don’t buy (haters, totally
unqualified)

So we CAN measure the ROI of a relationship.

But transactional value distorts the purpose of why people are in business. Why they become customers.
“Your grandparents are far more prepared for what’s coming than you are. They understood the human connection, small-town rules.
All of you who just worry about metrics, numbers, roi, you're going to die." - @garyvee

SO WHAT.(do we measure).
\\
Healthy relationship?
# and quality of:hugs. kisses. pleasant surprises. help around the house. positive reinforcement. listening. mutual support.
shared experiences?\\
\\
Customer referral value
According to Kumar, Petersen, and Leone, your most valuable customers are those whose word of mouth brings in the most profitable new customers, regardless of how much they themselves buy.

Wall Street Secret Revealed:
Customer Lifetime Value is not something that “the street” cares about.
When CMOs and CTOs say ROI, they really mean, “show me a pretty dashboard.”
\\
How far can we take this?
As the social graph reveals a huge volume of data about our actual relational behavior, we have an opportunity to pause for a moment: to consider the value system reflected in how we measure each other, ourselves, our relationships in the world.

Analog analytics
In conclusion:
ROI can be measured.But human connections are fluid, dynamic, and worth more than financial transactions alone.
To measure the health of a relationship, define those actions of reciprocity and advocacy.
