The Only Two Metrics That Matter in Your Local Service Business
Understanding CAC and LTV - and how to use them to dominate your market

The Two Numbers That Control Your Business Growth
In today's newsletter, we are going to cover:
The relationship between Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) and Customer Lifetime Value (LTV)
Why focusing on lowering CAC is the wrong approach
How to weaponize high LTV to dominate your market
It is approximately a 4-minute read.
There are two metrics that determine the health and the growth of your business.
Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) - how much it costs to acquire a customer.
Lifetime Value (LTV) - how much a customer is worth
Most business owners obsess about lowering CAC.. sounds great and should be optimized as much as possible. The real needle mover is growing LTV.
If the LTV of your customers is $10,000 and for your competitors, it is $5,000, you can outspend them on all platforms, effectively limiting their reach and visibility.
They can only afford to spend x amount and be profitable. Meanwhile, you can spend a multiple of their amount and still be profitable.
Whoever can profitably spend the most to acquire a customer buys speed, market share, and dominance.
Spend more time focusing on extracting a higher dollar amount from each customer, and you will have great success.
