Many ERP resellers win customers. But they lose them too soon.

The real profit comes from long-term relationships.

Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) means the total money a client pays you over many years. In ERP, this includes software fees, support, upgrades, AI automation, and consulting. The longer they stay and grow, the more stable your recurring income becomes.
