Customer Acquisition

​

• Do you know the “real” acquisition cost of getting a customer? How much money will that customer generate? Is it worthwhile spending the money/resources to acquire the customer?

• Be sure to include the full cost – if using sales people or owner, be sure to assign fully-burdened Fair Market Value cost to that activity (include hiring, training costs)

• Advertising/marketing might not be considered affordable, but when compared to other forms of customer acquisition costs, it might be more affordable and effective

• Make decisions, based on accurate financial information – the numbers do not lie

• Each business is unique, so what is valid for one business may not be for another
