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.
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.
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.
