The 20-year Customer: How Miele Turns Every Machine Sold into Two Decades of Revenue – Built on Experience

The sale is where most manufacturers stop counting. It's also where the real money starts - spare parts, service contracts, upgrades, retrofits, at margins up to four times higher than the original equipment sale, earned again and again across a 20-year lifecycle. Most companies capture only a fraction of it. The ones who win connect what they know about the product with what they know about the customer.
