Do your metrics tell the right story?

Quote symbol

As marketers and CX executives, we live and die by the numbers. But are these the numbers the CEO wants?

The volume of traffic, bounce rates, conversion rates, average order value, downloads, sales, lifetime value… whatever it is that you’re “selling”, there will be numbers that can be used to measure and benchmark your success. Use the right numbers, and they can be empowering. Focus on the wrong numbers, and they can be distracting, or even worse, debilitating.

So what are the numbers your CEO cares about?

CAC icon

CAC (Customer Aquisition Cost)

If this increases you may be spending too much for each new customer and the profit on each customer reduces.
CLTV icon

CLTV (Customer Lifetime Value)

The definition of CLTV varies but usually is revenue or gross margin over a customer’s life time. When you reduce customer churn you increase CLTV.
CLTV to CAC icon

CLTV to CAC ratio

The higher this ratio the better. A ratio of 3:1 or higher shows good return on Sales and marketing activity.
CAC payback icon

CAC months (payback)

A higher payback time means it takes longer to earn back the investment in CAC.
Customer numbers icon

Total customer numbers

This target is achieved more easily as you reduce your customer churn. The more customers retained, the fewer new customer need to be acquired to meet target customer numbers.
