Insiders Guide to SaaS Marketing

Connecting the Dots & increasing CAC Ratio with Marketing Automation

Asked, “what is the single most effective metric for a SaaS business?” Dharmash Shah, Co-founder and CEO of SaaS giant, Hubspot replied, “One of the metrics we track most maniacally at HubSpot is the LTV:CAC ratio (life-time-value:customer-acquisition-cost)… As a rule of thumb, I think that the LTV:CAC needs to be 3 or higher to build a successful SaaS business in the long-term.”

Bessemer Venture Partners offers this core advice:

If your CAC Ratio < .33 = cut spending or increase efficiency
If your CAC Ratio > 1 = invest more and step on the gas¹

Most SaaS companies realize that traditional sales and marketing is not optimal when the goal is to put the pedal to the metal. A better option is a digital marketing play, built on a strong infrastructure of integrated CRM and Marketing Automation. But you need to do it right.
