Cost of Acquisition refers to the total expenses incurred by a company or individual in acquiring a new client, customer, or asset. These costs can include marketing and advertising expenses, incentives, distribution costs, and sales team salary and expenses.

The phrase “coffee is for closers” comes from a movie where a sales director is getting frustrated with his company having underperforming sales reps and thus too high of a cost of acquisition.

The cost of acquisition is a crucial metric in evaluating the efficiency of a company’s marketing strategies and the value of its customer base.

With PPC intelligence, a company can tell whether or not its Google Ads are purchasing visibility on phrases with intent. With a good CRM, the actual purchases can be attributed to specific Google campaigns as well.

Use It In a Sentence: After analyzing the quarterly financials, the marketing team realized that by optimizing their ad campaigns, they significantly reduced the cost of acquisition, thereby increasing the company’s overall profitability.
