When you drive, there are a number
of information pieces available to
you in your car
5. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
The dashboard with the speed and
tachometer are metrics that
complement what you see and help
you to determine whether you are
driving too fast or too slowly
6. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
The rearview mirror provides
feedback on what is behind and the
side mirrors give a backward looking
input
7. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
The temperature and oil gauges are
operational metrics that measure
how well the engine is running and
the fuel gauge provides information
so you don’t run out of gas
8. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
In marketing, measuring only sales
revenue is like driving a car by only
looking in the rearview mirror,
because sales measures what has
happened in the past
9. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Just like driving, you need a
balanced set of metrics, or a
scorecard, as a marketer
13. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Since demand generation, new
product launch, and loyalty
marketing drive measurable sales
revenues, you can use financial
return on marketing investment
calculations more than 50% of the
time
14. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
But financial ROMI is not the answer
for all marketing measurement and
you have to have a balanced
approach with multiple metrics
16. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Finance is the language of business
and the sooner we learn to speak
this language, we gain respect in the
boardroom.
17. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
The one question that most of you
have asked me over and over is
“How do we get top management to
accept this method of marketing?”
19. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
I once told a CEO that if they did a
specific marketing initiative, it would
increase their share price by 40
cents a share – it was funded almost
immediately.
20. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Now as you might remember from
the early lectures, I explained that
financial ROMI is applicable to more
than 50% of marketing activities.
21. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
These include trial and demand
generation marketing, and new
product launch marketing.
22. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Now, we will look at these metrics
and insights that are achieved
through quantifying marketing using
financial metrics.
24. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Whether you understand math and
finance or not, you need to
understand these relationships
otherwise your career in marketing
will be over very quickly.
28. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
But there are some insights that you
need to keep in mind when working
the math….
29. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
First
The marketing divide exists because
some firms choose to invest more in
demand generation marketing, running
sales and promotions, which drive sales
revenues, but kill profits.
30. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Top brands invest more in brand and
customer equity, and as a result are
able to charge a premium price,
which means higher profits.
32. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
A few firms, such as Wal-Mart and
Dell, have been effective with this
strategy because they have
exceptional supply-chain
management capabilities that drive
cost down to a minimum.
33. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
So if operational efficiency is your
core strategy, then by all means
consider competing on price – but
for everyone else, using marketing
to drive profits is a better strategy.
35. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
When you talk to brands, they are
most interested in “grabbing” share
in the market.
36. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Market share is important, but if you
consistently lose profits to gain
share, the over time – this is a losing
strategy.
37. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
There is a conflict between
marketing and sales, since sales is
incentivized on volume, not profits.
38. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
If you analyze your sales forces, you
will see the the top performers,
those who get regular rewards, are
often the least profitable and may
even by negative in profitability.
40. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
When Mark Hurd became CEO of HP,
he changed the incentive packages
for all the HP Enterprise Sales team.
41. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
He incentivized the sales people
based on the profits of the products
they sell, not the volume.
43. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
HP’s overall revenues grew by 20%
between 2005 and 2007, but the net
income grew from $2.3 billion to
$7.3 billion – increasing the stock
price by 243%!
44. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Solving for the “right” price point to
maximize profits and sales revenue
is a pricing exercise and, if you are
interested, there are many books to
teach you how to do that
45. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
But at the end of the day, price is set
by what the market is willing to pay
for the value of the
products/services you provide.
46. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
One approach is to use a brute force
method and increase prices by 5 -
10% a month and see where sales
start to drop off – this is what we
call the optimal price maximizing
sales and profits.
48. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
The intelligence behind the whole
discussion is that facing difficult
times and competitive pressures,
the first thought is to compete by
cutting price, at the cost of
profitability.
49. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
This will lead you to a death spiral of
losing money in the majority of
marketing activities.
50. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
A better strategy is to build brand and
customer equity so that you compete on
value, instead of price. This is what we
call Value-Based Marketing.
52. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Value-Based Marketing drives significant
performance gains and firms that bridge
the marketing divide focus on customer
value in all marketing activities.
54. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
An Example of Direct Mail Offers
Low to Medium CLTV +
Low to Medium Response
Rates are not sent a
mailing
From a ROMI point of
view, these customers are
slow on the take rate, so
why waste marketing
dollars here?
55. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
An Example of Direct Mail Offers
High CLTV + Low Response
Rates are also not sent a
mailing
The cost of the mailing is
not justified
Our focus, as marketers,
must be on the medium to
high CLTV + Medium to
High Response Rate
customers
56. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
An Example of Direct Mail Offers
Notice
Highest Expected
Response Rate + the
Highest CLTV get the 2nd
most expensive offer
Highest Expected
Response Rate + Medium
CLTV get the 3rd most
expensive offer
While the Lowest CLTV
don’t get an offer at all
58. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Those that have the lowest CLTV are
coming anyway so they get the lowest,
most cost effective offer. They are
coming because they value your product
but don’t respond to the “offers”; so it
would be a waste targeting them.
59. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
By focusing this single strategy on a
value-basis, we cut our marketing costs
in half – since we now focus on less than
50% of the potential customer base, but
the impact is significantly higher
because we are focusing on profitability.

A golf handicap is calculated by
taking the average golf score over
the last 10 rounds of golf played.
The handicap is the average number
of shots over par.
64. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
For those who have never been on a
golf course, there are 18 holes –
some with a par of 3, some with a
par of 4 and some with a par of 5.
Par is the number of strokes (shots)
expected for the “expert” golfer.
66. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Understand that golf is an incredibly
difficult sport where you have to
account for wind speeds, water
hazards, and trees.
68. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Golf and marketing are very similar
and it’s very easy to demonstrate
finance’s role in a simple story.
69. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Let’s assume that you have a golf
handicap of 10. This means that you
routinely keep score and on average
shoot 82 – or 10 strokes over par.
70. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
But today, you get the opportunity
to play at Pebble Beach, one of the
world’s top golf courses. Will you
shoot exactly 82 again?
76. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
The handicap is trend data that
helps them predict the future, but
when playing a new course for the
first time, there is a risk..
77. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Third
Because of risk, it is not possible to
predict the future exactly – there is a
range of possible outcomes.
79. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Every year in February, there is a
pro-am tournament at Pebble Beach
that bring great golfers and
celebrities together. Let’s assume
that you enter this tournament and
win!
80. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Very excited, you get the large
trophy and a check from $ 1 million,
but there is fine print on the bottom
of the check -
81. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
You must chose $100,000/year for
20 years or $520,000 today. You
have to decide – which would you
chose?
82. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Being a financial decision, it would
be helpful to know how much the
$100,000 per year is actually worth
today.
83. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
Basic education tells us that a dollar
today is not worth a dollar a year
from now, but how much is it
worth?
84. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
If I invested $1 today, what would it
be worth next year –
$1 x (1 + r)
r = rate of return we expect to get
86. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
To make this easier, you can divide
both sides by (1 + r) meaning that:
$1/(1 + r) = today’s dollar
88. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
So if r = 10%, then a dollar received
a year from now would be worth 91
cents today.
$1/(1 + 10%) = $1/1.1 = .909
90. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
If we had $ 100,000/year for 10
years, with payments at the end of
each year, the value today is:
93. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
So, the value of $100K per year for 10 years in today’s dollars, assuming a
discount rate of 10%. You would have $614,000 instead of the $520,000 today.
94. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
This example highlights that
calculating the metric is only the
first step in management decision
making.
95. http://emagine-group.com Brand Focused, Socially Active, Digitally Enabled
In management, one can argue that
there are no wrong answers. But
with metrics, there are “better”
answers.
