1.“Net Promoter Score”is a customer loyalty metric developed by(and a registered trademark of)Fred Reichheld,Bain & Company,and Satmetrix.It was introduced by Reichheld in his 2003 Harvard Business Review article“One Number You Need to Grow”.NPS can be as low as-100(everybody is a detractor)or as high as+100(everybody is a promoter).An NPS that is positive(i.e.,higher than zero)is felt to be good,and an NPS of+50 is excellent.Net Promoter Score(NPS)measures the loyalty that exists between a provider and a consumer.The provider can be a company,employer or any other entity.The provider is the entity that is asking the questions on the NPS survey.The consumer is the customer,employee,or respondent to an NPS survey.净推荐值(Net Promoter Score,abbr.NPS)净推荐值(NPS),又称“净促进者得分”,是一种计量某个客户将会向其他人推荐某个企业或服务可能性的指数。它是最流行的顾客忠诚度分析指标,专注于顾客口碑如何影响企业成长。通过密切跟踪净推荐值,企业可以让自己更加成功。

4.upsell——提升销售。与后续销售一样,提升销售(upsell)也是一个低成本高利润的营销手法。举个简单的例子,去中关村买过电脑的人都知道,你去之前已经规划好买一款5 000元的,可导购问你买电脑做什么用的时候,会向你推荐配置或价格更高的产品,“这款5 200元,比那个多2G内存,单买一条内存要300多元的,这个挺划算”,“这款5 400元,比那个多2G内存,硬盘多250G,这个也不错”……仔细想想,好像也对,“那就5 400的那款吧!”这种提升销售的营销成本非常低,只要告诉客户有这些选项,客户基本会选提升后的产品,因为提升后的产品似乎“更划算”。

5.cross-sell——交叉销售,借助CRM(客户关系管理),发现有顾客的多种需求,并通过满足其需求而销售多种相关服务或产品的一种新兴营销方式。

6.touch point(also:touchpoint,contact point,point of contact)—a business jargon for any encounter where customers and business engage to exchange information,provide service,or handle transactions触点,接触点(消费者接触品牌的面有很多层次,每一个层次的体验都会有所不同,要让这些不同变成一种核心利益的共同感受,就是品牌接触点管理的中心内容。)

7.tech margin:difference in technology content or technical competence科技含量或技术能力的差异

8.customer lifetime value—In marketing,customer lifetime value(CLV or often CLTV),lifetime customer value(LCV),or lifetime value(LTV)is a prediction of the net profit(or gross profit for start-ups)attributed to the entire future relationship with a customer.The prediction model can have varying levels of sophistication and accuracy,ranging from a crude heuristic to the use of complex predictive analytics techniques.客户终生价值,指的是每个购买者在未来可能为企业带来的收益总和。研究表明,如同某种产品一样,顾客对于企业利润的贡献也可以分为导入期、快速增长期、成熟期和衰退期。
