How To Scale Without Losing Margin
Ever hit a point where you're spending more on ads and somehow making less? There's a reason for that, and it's not your creative.
The real answer is your acquisition economics. The combination of your conversion efficiency, economic efficiency, and allowable cost per acquisition. I break it all down in this episode.
In This Episode:
• Why Return on Ad Spend (ROAS) is an incomplete metric, and what CM-ROAS tells you that ROAS never will
• How acquisition economics breaks into two parts: conversion efficiency and economic efficiency. You need both to scale without bleeding margin
• The exact formula for calculating your real ACAC, including how to factor in overhead per customer (most founders skip this, and it's a damn expensive mistake)
• Four specific levers you can pull to raise your ACAC and get more volume at the same margins
• Why most media agencies make more money when you spend more, even when it tanks your profit. And how knowing your numbers protects you from that dynamic
