Summary

This lesson shows you how to move budget from expensive channels to efficient ones based on actual customer acquisition cost data. You will learn how to calculate CAC by channel, compare them fairly, and reallocate budget without disrupting your pipeline.

This chapter shows you how to calculate cost per acquisition by channel, compare them fairly, and shift budget toward the ones that deliver the best results. You will learn how to account for differences in lead quality across channels and how to make budget decisions based on data rather than habit or gut feeling.
