Group assignment for 2-3 students. Customer Profiling and Determining Customer value. Your client is a start up cable company. It has been in business for approximately one year. They offer cable TV channels and Cable (High-Speed) internet. You will pretend that you are from a consulting firm presenting to a client with very little or no statistical background. You want to give your client an understanding of their customers who they are and how valuable or not they are to determine who should get V.I.P. status.? To answer who the V.I.P. customers are you must first answer, what is value in terms of your client’s definition?? Note: V.I.P. stands for very important person.
Each group will present the project on the date it is due, 2-3 weeks from when it is assigned. The presentation should be done in PowerPoint Graphs, etc., and must be done in Excel. The PowerPoint must be less than 5MB in size.
Finally, you will hand in the PowerPoint presentation and all supporting materials. You will be graded almost entirely on the PowerPoint Presentation. The presentation should be made as a stand-alone document. It should be made in a manner that it can be read and understood without your presence. Finally, presentations that show nothing beyond the given example presentation will not be considered “A” material. The client has given you the entire data
set, and you will work with the entire data set. You will be given the entire population of customers with various information. Such information will include payment history. One of your clients concerns is that some of their customers don?t pay. The client intends to use your findings to offer incentives to the specific people you determine as V.I.P.s.
