Unveiling customer identification tactics: Assessing lifetime value and beyond

Ilias Tsatalmpasidis:

In the realm of insurance, particularly business insurance, each customer acquisition poses a unique challenge. This is particularly true for customers obtained through digital channels, as the premium and revenue they generate remain uncertain.

The diverse nature of businesses and their associated risks adds further complexity. Consequently, relying on a fixed cost per acquisition is impractical. Instead, we focus on the crucial metric of return on investment, prioritizing our overall return rather than ad spend per customer.

To address this challenge, we have developed machine learning models with predictive capabilities. One model aims to forecast the value of a customer, while the other predicts the tenure or duration of their engagement.
