Drive Business Success Through Customer Education

© FORRESTER RESEARCH, INC. ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Appendix: TEI Benefits, Table B: Increased Customer Spending Survey respondents reported that education programs were offered to 76.7% of customers, utilized by 51.1% of customers, and increased revenue per trainee by 8.3%. Increased revenue could be earned via additional purchases, higher average order value, increased spending on higher-tier offerings, or other forms of enrichment and increased spending for B2C and B2B companies. The composite organization earns $1 billion in annual revenue with a 12% operating profit margin. Forrester modeled a phased rollout of education to half the expected 76.7% of customers in Year 1. To account for potential variation and risks, Forrester adjusted this benefit downward by the survey-derived risk adjustment of 20%, yielding a three-year, risk-adjusted total PV (discounted at 10%) of $6.7 million for the composite organization.
