A practical example
Example: a B2B vendor groups customers into three tiers by annual contract value and usage depth, then assigns different check-in cadences, support paths and expansion campaigns to each tier.
What to evaluate before investing
- Check whether the platform can combine revenue, contract and usage data in one segment definition, or needs imports from other systems.
- Ask how tiers and segments handle changes over time, for example a customer moving between tiers mid-contract.
- Verify reporting per segment: retention, expansion and engagement metrics broken down by group, not just in aggregate.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Segmentation criteria should match decisions you will actually make; elaborate models with many dimensions often go unused because teams cannot act on them, so start with the two or three criteria that drive your resourcing choices.
