CIBC: Customer Profitability System (B‪)‬

With the development of the customer profitability system complete, the product and marketing groups of the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce now needed to address how to improve customer profitability, one customer at a time, by examining new market segmentation and identifying new sales opportunities. Issues they had to resolve were: what to do with customers who were not profitable, who should have access to the data, how to use the data to gain competitive advantage over the competition and what changes should be made to the compensation system so it is aligned with the company's sales focus. This is the second of a three-case series that follows the design and implementation of a customer profitability system at a large Canadian financial institution. The (A) and (C) cases are product #9B00B014 and 9B00B016 respectively.
