Jordan Gordon, VP of Retention and CRO at Pilothouse returns to the pod to break down a concept every retention marketer thinks they understand but rarely applies: Net Present Value (NPV). This isn’t finance class — this is a tactical breakdown on how to treat your email list like an appreciating asset.

For DTC retention leads and founders thinking beyond one-off campaigns.

• Why NPV thinking changes your entire email strategy
• How to measure email value beyond open/click/purchase
• Ways to increase the long-term worth of every subscriber
• Where CRO fits in to boost lifecycle value
• Email as a compounding channel: what most brands miss

Who this is for: Retention marketers, growth leads, lifecycle teams

What to steal:

• A framework to value your email list like a P&L
• How to spot (and increase) high NPV customers
• Why short-term ROI thinking stunts your retention
