Have you ever asked yourself: How much does my client cost? To know the answer, you need to calculate the so-called CAC (Customer Acquisition Cost). If it is too high, the company will start to incur losses, even if it constantly acquires new customers. However, CAC is not the only indicator that is worth tracking - CLV, or Customer Lifetime Value (customer value in the long term) is equally important. How can you calculate both indicators and why not knowing them is one of the biggest mistakes a sales manager can make?

Just a few years ago our email boxes were bulging with hundreds of ads, spam and other messages, and we usually paid little or no attention to their content. It seemed that email was passed its prime, and that this innovation would soon become a thing of the past. However, instead of marginalisation there came transformation.
Ongoing digital disruption is changing the skillset required by finance and accounting professionals. How can employers provide the right training?
