Common questions
What is CAC and why does it matter?
CAC = Customer Acquisition Cost. Formula: total marketing spend / new customers per month. It is the most basic marketing-efficiency metric.
How do you calculate LTV correctly?
LTV = monthly ARPC × gross margin × retention months. Use gross margin (not revenue) — otherwise LTV is inflated.
What is a healthy LTV:CAC ratio?
Industry convention: 3:1 (LTV is 3× CAC) is the baseline for sustainability. Below 1 = losing on every customer. 3-5 = healthy. Above 5 = great but possibly under-investing in growth.
What is a reasonable marketing payback period?
Under 12 months = efficient. 12-18 = OK but needs bridge financing. Over 18 = problematic for an SMB without investors.
How does FullnessCRM track these metrics?
FullnessCRM integrates with Google Ads, Meta Ads and other channels, joins with actual CRM purchases, and shows CAC, LTV and customer source in one dashboard — no monthly spreadsheet.
