In the kickoff to our Don’t Be Afraid of the Numbers mini-series, Peter and Emily break down the Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC)—the single, powerful metric that ties together your marketing spend and sales performance into one clear, no-fluff number.

You'll learn how to calculate CAC step-by-step, why it matters more than you think, and how it reveals the health of your marketing and sales pipeline. Peter shares real-world examples (including a 10-year client success story) and gives practical advice on reducing your CAC through smarter ad spending, better sales follow-up, and even pricing strategy. Plus, we share a free CAC tracking tool to help you take action immediately.

If numbers make you nervous, this is your safe zone. Tune in, get empowered, and start making data-driven decisions with confidence.

If you're a business owner thinking about a rebrand—or even just refining your brand—this episode offers practical insight. We break down what triggered our change, the process we followed, lessons we learned, and why clarity in branding matters more than being clever.
