By modeling the products and services that are important and the order in which your most valuable customers bought them, you can use the model to help identify customers who are at the early stages of the same curve.

There are other methods you can employ. The point is to have a way to identify this group of customers so you can develop appropriate marketing and sales initiatives and invest resources that will help you acquire and actively nurture their growth.
