How Do Loyalty Initiatives Connect to CLV in RM6?
In RM6™, loyalty isn’t a points program—it’s an operating system that grows Customer Lifetime Value by tying engagement, adoption, and advocacy to measurable revenue outcomes.
RM6 links loyalty initiatives to CLV by converting signals (usage, support, community, advocacy) into plays (enablement, add-on bundles, executive reviews, reference asks) with stage KPIs across Land→Adopt→Expand→Renew. Each initiative is budgeted against NRR, churn reduction, attach rate, and advocacy yield, turning loyalty into a forecastable revenue lever.

- Activate value: Launch onboarding, enablement paths, and tier benefits tied to usage milestones.
- Expand intelligently: Trigger add-on trials and QBRs when outcomes and eligibility thresholds are met.
- Operationalize advocacy: Collect metrics, quotes, and logo rights; store as searchable story objects.
- Renew with confidence: Co-term offers, executive alignment, and ROI recaps reduce risk and cycle time.
- Govern to revenue: A monthly RM council reallocates budget to plays with highest CLV lift.
