Three Levels Of Customer-Financed Acquisition

  • Alex Hormozi defines three CFA levels by linking gross profit (GP) and customer acquisition cost (CAC).
  • Level one loses money early, level two breaks even in 30 days, and level three doubles GP to CAC in 30 days.
ADVICE

Use 30-Day Credit As Short-Term Budget

  • Use interest-free 30-day credit to operate at CFA level two if profit equals CAC in 30 days.
  • Treat your credit card limit as a short-term advertising budget and manage balances to expand acquisition capacity.
ADVICE

Make 2x Profit In 30 Days Minimum

  • Aim to make at least double the profit from a customer compared to CAC within 30 days to reach CFA level three.
  • Reinvest excess profit to acquire more customers and remove cash as a growth constraint.
