In the recency column, all the customers who purchased within a month will be considered as the best one (rating 5) and those having made the purchase with the quarter will be considered as your second best customers.

In the Frequency column, the customers who have purchased more than 20 times are defined as rating 5 customers whereas those with lower than 2 purchases are the worst performers.

In the monetary column, those who spent more than $1000 are considered as top customers and those with spending less than $250 are considered as low-priced customers.

Since businesses are unique and their products distinct in some way or another from others, the sellers can enter the value as per their business needs.
