Listen "Understanding Customer Buying Behavior"
Episode Synopsis
"The Customer-Base Audit" by Peter Fader, Bruce Hardie, and Michael Ross, advocates for a fundamental shift in business analysis from a product-centric to a customer-centric perspective. It introduces the concept of a customer-base audit, a systematic review of customer buying behavior using transaction data to understand customer heterogeneity and its evolution over time. The authors outline a "data cube" framework with a primary focus on the customer-time dimension, explored through five analytical "lenses". By examining customer behavior across various timeframes and cohorts, the book demonstrates how businesses can gain critical insights into customer acquisition, retention, and development, ultimately leading to more informed strategic decisions and improved profitability.
