3. We all need to acquire new
customers to make our products
and businesses work

4. But ask yourself: are you really
ready for more customers?
Is your team set up to handle an
influx of users?

5. First of all, is your product even ready for
some/many users? Are there still bugs
that will render the customer experience
completely flawed?
These are questions that you need to
answer before committing to a launch,
even a soft launch, and maybe even a
private beta.

6. The customer acquisition process
for startups is hardly linear or
predictable, but that doesn’t
mean that thoughtful planning is
not useful or necessary.
"The customer acquisition process
is far from an exact science. There
are many things that can (and do)
go wrong" ~ Paul Graham
WHY BEING
PREPARED
MATTERS

7. HOWEVER, THERE ARE SOME
THINGS THAT YOU CAN DO
TO MITIGATE RISK AND
IMPROVE YOUR CHANCES
OF SUCCESS.

8. Yes, plans change (especially with
startups), but having a basic plan
of action for onboarding
customers is non-negotiable. This
includes a detailed accounting of
the platforms that you will use,
the metrics that will measure
success, your timelines, and the
manpower required to do all of it
effectively.
What goals are you trying to
achieve and why? What does the
timeline look like? Are you going
to outsource or hire from within?
HAVE A PLAN

9. Employees of startups are known
to wear many hats. Regardless of
the size of your team, everyone
should understand your user
acquisition process and what their
roles in onboarding will be (both
short and long term).
HIRE THE RIGHT
PEOPLE

10. Your CAC is loosely defined as the
cost of all of your sales and
marketing expenses over a given
period of time, divided by the
number of customers acquired in
that window.
