Episode notes
Retention Beats Lowering Acquisition Cost
- Improving retention is often a bigger profitability lever than lowering acquisition cost because LTV increases and CAC pressure eases.
- Shana Lynn Bresnahan shows that better retention doubles lifetime value moving from 80% to 90% and compounds further at 95% retention.
