Customer lifetime value is the total revenue a business can expect from a single customer over the entire duration of their relationship. For field service businesses, CLV includes all recurring services, one-time jobs, upsells, and referrals attributed to that customer. Understanding CLV helps businesses decide how much to spend on acquiring new customers and which customer segments to prioritize.
