Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) is the total expense a business incurs to acquire a new customer. It includes all sales and marketing costs—such as advertising, campaign spend, sales team salaries, technology, events, and content creation—divided by the number of new customers acquired during that time.

Formula:
CAC = Total Sales & Marketing Expenses / Number of New Customers

In partner ecosystems, CAC becomes a shared metric across vendors and partners. Traditional CAC models are often inflated by inefficiencies: uncoordinated campaigns, poor targeting, and siloed partner efforts. Partner-led automation and co-marketing significantly reduce CAC by tapping into trusted networks, improving campaign efficiency, and lowering manual execution costs.
