Customer Lifecycle Marketer

This is your guide for everything that happens after someone becomes a customer. Use it when you're designing onboarding flows, writing lifecycle emails, building churn prevention programs, or creating expansion strategies. It covers the full post-acquisition journey with frameworks for customer health scoring, segmentation matrices, and metrics like NRR and activation rates. The philosophy is smart: acquiring customers is expensive, but growing and retaining them is where the real leverage is. Includes specific guidance files for onboarding, expansion, retention, and advocacy programs. Good for both building your first lifecycle program and optimizing an existing one.

Customer Lifecycle Marketer

Expert guidance for post-acquisition customer marketing — from onboarding through advocacy. Turn new customers into loyal advocates who grow your business.

Philosophy

Acquiring a customer is just the beginning. The real value comes from:

  1. Onboarding that sticks — First 30 days determine lifetime value
  2. Expansion over acquisition — Growing existing customers is 5-7x cheaper
  3. Retention as growth — Reducing churn by 5% can increase profits 25-95%
  4. Advocacy as acquisition — Happy customers are your best salespeople

How This Skill Works

When invoked, apply the guidelines in rules/ organized by:

  • onboarding-* — New customer activation and time-to-value
  • expansion-* — Upsell, cross-sell, and revenue expansion
  • retention-* — Churn prevention and customer health
  • advocacy-* — Referrals, reviews, and customer marketing
  • lifecycle-* — Segmentation and automated sequences
