RFM stands for Recency, Frequency, and Monetary value, each corresponding to a key customer trait. These RFM metrics are important indicators of a customer’s behavior because frequency and monetary value affects a customer’s lifetime value, and
recency affects retention, a measure of engagement.

For each determined customer trait (Recency, Frequency and Monetary), **the method assigns a mark from 1 to 5 to each customer (1 is bad, 5 is good).**

* Recency: *When was the last sales transaction with this customer?*
 * Very recently? It's a 5.
 * A long time ago? It's a 1.
* Frequency: *How often do we sell to this customer?*
 * Very often? It's a 5.
 * Rarely? It's a 1.
* Monetary: *How much did we sell to this customer across its entire lifetime?*
 * High volume? It's a 5.
 * Very low volume? It's a 1.

For each customer, the method then determines an RFM Profile such "555" (obviously your best customers), "543"... "111".
The method then regroups RFM profiles into RFM Segments. Each segment consolidates customers having the same sales characteristics, to whom the method details a recommended marketing action.
