When I was 29 years old, I was pitching to investors for funding. 

I’d breezed through my pitch deck, million-dollar smile on my face despite my shaky nerves when they asked:

“What’s your CAC?”

‘Yeeeah! I got this’, I thought to myself.

CAC stands for ‘Customer Acquisition Cost’ and I had done the math. Smugly, I dropped an impressive number.

The investor’s eye’s lit up.

“Really? Wow!... But is that your Fully Loaded CAC?”

The room went so quiet you would hear a pin drop.

My jaw hung open, and I still cringe when I think of the dumbfounded deer-in-the-headlights look on my face.

All I could think was, "What the heck does fully loaded mean?”

I made a fool of myself that day.

Today I’m going to show you how to calculate your Customer Acquisition Cost - fully loaded - in just 3 easy steps so you never look like a fool in front of anyone.

If you want to make investors drool over a stake in your company, then you’ve got to know your numbers.

See, investors want to avoid risk at ALL costs.

They’ll pass on a promising business if the founder doesn’t know the right numbers. 

Numbers don’t lie, and neither does your fully loaded CAC.



This is a quick dose of metrics-math. Check out the video here and don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel while you’re there.
