CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost)!

Take	
  only	
  a	
  porBon	
  of	
  those	
  salaries	
  and	
  expenses	
  
in	
  the	
  early	
  days	
  to	
  give	
  a	
  beTer	
  indicaBon	
  of	
  how	
  
CAC	
  will	
  look	
  when	
  you	
  are	
  at	
  scale.	
  
CLV or LTV (Customer Lifetime Value)!

if	
  the	
  Customer	
  Churn	
  rate	
  is	
  a	
  monthly	
  %	
  or	
  yearly	
  %,	
  then	
  
the	
  Customer	
  LifeBme	
  will	
  be	
  for	
  the	
  same	
  Bme	
  period.	
  	
  
CLV or LTV (Customer Lifetime Value)!
To	
  truly	
  get	
  an	
  accurate	
  picture	
  of	
  LTV,	
  you	
  should	
  
take	
  into	
  consideraBon	
  Gross	
  Margin:	
  

In	
  most	
  SaaS	
  businesses,	
  the	
  gross	
  margin	
  %	
  is	
  high	
  (above	
  
80%),	
  and	
  it’s	
  quite	
  common	
  to	
  use	
  the	
  simpler	
  version	
  of	
  
the	
  formula	
  that	
  is	
  not	
  Gross	
  Margin	
  adjusted.	
  
CLV or LTV in a More Complex Scenario
(Where	
  you	
  expect	
  ARPA	
  to	
  change	
  over	
  the	
  lifespan	
  
of	
  the	
  customer	
  due	
  to	
  expansion	
  revenue)	
  

a	
  =	
  iniBal	
  ARPA	
  per	
  month	
  (	
  x	
  GM	
  %,	
  if	
  you	
  prefer)	
  
m	
  =	
  monthly	
  growth	
  in	
  ARPA	
  per	
  account	
  
c	
  =	
  Customer	
  Churn	
  Rate	
  (in	
  months)	
  
(This	
  formula	
  makes	
  an	
  assumpBon	
  that	
  revenue	
  increases	
  at	
  a	
  roughly	
  
fixed	
  rate	
  every	
  month	
  for	
  the	
  enBre	
  lifeBme	
  of	
  the	
  customer)	
  
LTV : CAC Ratio Awesomeness!
if	
  

> 3	


(It’s	
  ok.	
  As	
  a	
  startup,	
  don’t	
  worry	
  
iniBally	
  about	
  LTV>3*CAC)	
  

if	
  1	
  <	
  LTV/CAC	
  <	
  3	
  	
  
	
  
	
  
if	
  LTV/CAC	
  <	
  1	
  	
  
your	
  business	
  model	
  is	
  broken!

  • 26. ACTIVATION! Key metrics to track:! •  Pages per visit (2-3+ page views)! •  Time on site (10-30+ seconds)! •  Conversions (1 key feature usage)! •  Clicks (3-5+ clicks)! •  Bounce rate (low)! Activation Tips:! •  Less is more! •  Focus on UX / Usability! •  Provide incentives & call to actions! •  Perform A/B tests and iterate fast!

  • 37.
  • 38. CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost)! Take  only  a  porBon  of  those  salaries  and  expenses   in  the  early  days  to  give  a  beTer  indicaBon  of  how   CAC  will  look  when  you  are  at  scale.  
  • 39. CLV or LTV (Customer Lifetime Value)! if  the  Customer  Churn  rate  is  a  monthly  %  or  yearly  %,  then   the  Customer  LifeBme  will  be  for  the  same  Bme  period.    
  • 40. CLV or LTV (Customer Lifetime Value)! To  truly  get  an  accurate  picture  of  LTV,  you  should   take  into  consideraBon  Gross  Margin:   In  most  SaaS  businesses,  the  gross  margin  %  is  high  (above   80%),  and  it’s  quite  common  to  use  the  simpler  version  of   the  formula  that  is  not  Gross  Margin  adjusted.  
  • 41. CLV or LTV in a More Complex Scenario (Where  you  expect  ARPA  to  change  over  the  lifespan   of  the  customer  due  to  expansion  revenue)   a  =  iniBal  ARPA  per  month  (  x  GM  %,  if  you  prefer)   m  =  monthly  growth  in  ARPA  per  account   c  =  Customer  Churn  Rate  (in  months)   (This  formula  makes  an  assumpBon  that  revenue  increases  at  a  roughly   fixed  rate  every  month  for  the  enBre  lifeBme  of  the  customer)  
  • 42. LTV : CAC Ratio Awesomeness! if   > 3 (It’s  ok.  As  a  startup,  don’t  worry   iniBally  about  LTV>3*CAC)   if  1  <  LTV/CAC  <  3         if  LTV/CAC  <  1     your  business  model  is  broken!
