How to Double Customer Lifetime Value with Authentic Communication

Written By Chuck Copenspire

In the world of business, customer lifetime value (LTV) is one of the most important metrics to track. But how do you increase it? The answer lies in authentic communication.

In a recent interview on The Troy Show, Chuck Copenspire, co-founder of Identity Pending and the “Sales Without Slime Guy,” shared actionable tips on how to build long-term relationships with your customers, improve your social media marketing, and master cold outreach—all while staying true to your authentic self.

If you missed the conversation, don’t worry. Here are the key takeaways to help you double your customer LTV and grow your business.

1. Authentic Communication is the Key to Long-Term Relationships

Chuck emphasized that authenticity is the foundation of any successful business relationship. Whether you’re reaching out to a potential client or engaging with your audience on social media, being genuine and relatable is crucial.

Pro Tip:

  • Avoid overly polished or salesy language. Instead, focus on solving problems and adding value.

  • Share personal stories and experiences to humanize your brand.

2. Cold Outreach Done Right

Cold outreach can feel slimy if done wrong, but it doesn’t have to be. Chuck shared his approach to cold messaging, which focuses on low-pressure, high-value communication.

How to Nail Cold Outreach:

  • Keep your message short and relevant. Avoid sending long paragraphs that overwhelm the recipient.

  • Focus on the recipient’s needs. For example, instead of saying, “Your website sucks,” ask, “Is your website getting the results you want?”

  • Build trust by showing genuine interest in their work or industry.

3. Automation Without Losing the Personal Touch

Automation can save you time, but it shouldn’t come at the cost of authenticity. Chuck uses tools like Metricool to schedule and repurpose content across multiple platforms, ensuring consistency without sacrificing quality.

Automation Tips:

  • Use templates for repetitive tasks (e.g., podcast interview questions, email responses).

  • Repurpose content into different formats (e.g., turn a blog post into a carousel or video).

  • Always add a personal touch to automated messages to keep them human.

4. Building Confidence Through Experimentation

Confidence is key to effective communication, but it doesn’t come overnight. Chuck, who once struggled with social anxiety, shared how he built his confidence through experimentation and small risks.

How to Build Confidence:

  • Start small. Share a short post, comment on someone’s content, or perform at an open mic.

  • Embrace failure as part of the process. Most people won’t notice or care if you mess up.

  • Focus on progress, not perfection.

5. The Power of Evergreen Content

Evergreen content—content that remains relevant over time—is a powerful way to attract and retain customers. Chuck shared how he creates evergreen content by addressing common questions and pain points in his niche.

Evergreen Content Ideas:

  • Write blog posts or create videos answering frequently asked questions.

  • Repurpose successful content into different formats (e.g., turn a video into a blog post or carousel).

  • Focus on timeless topics that will remain relevant for years to come.
