Customer Equity as the Objective Section 1.3 Section 1.3 identifies customer equity, the total discounted lifetime value of current and future customers, as what the firm is actually trying to build, and decomposes it into brand, offering, and relationship equity.

Targeting: Attractiveness, Fit, and Persuadability Section 2.4 Section 2.4 frames targeting as two questions answered together: segment attractiveness and the firm’s competitive fit, and then introduces Ascarza’s finding that likelihood to act differs from influenceability.
