When I was 29 years old, I was pitching to investors for funding.
I’d breezed through my pitch deck, million-dollar smile on my face despite my shaky nerves when they asked:
‘Yeeeah! I got this’, I thought to myself.
CAC stands for ‘Customer Acquisition Cost’ and I had done the math. Smugly, I dropped an impressive number.
The investor’s eye’s lit up.
“Really? Wow!… But is that your Fully Loaded CAC?”
The room went so quiet you would hear a pin drop.
My jaw hung open, and I still cringe when I think of the dumbfounded deer-in-the-headlights look on my face.
All I could think was, “What the heck does fully loaded mean?”
I made a fool of myself that day.
