What do you call your customers? Do you call them “customers”? Maybe you call them clients, members, guests, patients, residents… the list can go on and on. Some people say that the term “client” implies a long-term relationship.

If you want to calculate a customer’s true potential value to your future, then you have to calculate the customer lifetime value of a SaaS customer over many years of sustained partnership. .
