#547: Winning the CFO’s Heart in Loyalty Finance

Published on: 11th June, 2024

Last week we kicked off a month-long discussion of Loyalty Financial Modeling with Loyalty Academy™ senior faculty members Bill Hanifin and Aaron Dauphinee. Drawing from material in Course #105 – Introduction to Loyalty Finance, Aaron and Bill are walking you through the essentials that you need to know to break through the “black box” of loyalty finance. 

This week, Bill goes solo and takes a close look at the assumptions that matter most for your financial model and how to create an assumption set that will pass the credibility test with your CFO and win the budget you seek. He shares the “check digit” questions that you must ask to make sure your model will pass the toughest tests with your stakeholders.

Each month in the Wiser Loyalty series, Bill and Aaron draw a theme based on the courses required to earn the Certified Loyalty Marketing Professional™ (CLMP™) designation, which is nearing 1,000 individuals across 53 countries worldwide.
