How quickly are your customers getting value?
Our clients are focusing on Time to Value (TTV) right now.
Clients who’ve optimized it are seeing radical improvements in #LTV.
Here’s why:
→ Reduce TTV, reduce churn.
→ Faster value = Better retention.
→ Faster value = Faster NPS and word of mouth.
Examples:
Spotify: Personalizes playlists within minutes.
Netflix: Personalized content recommendations on sign-up.
Slack: Teams start collaborating within hours.

We’ve seen firsthand how reducing TTV can increase LTV and lower churn.
The faster your customers see value, the more likely they are to stay with you.
