CAC Market is the only place where Buyers can translate the value of their engagement into real-money

Know Your Worth

A $50K SaaS tool purchase is worth ~$350K in customer lifetime value to the Vendor.

Consequently, the Vendor is willing to incur ~$100K in customer acquisition costs. Typically, the cost of identifying active buyers (lead generation) represents ~25%, or in this case, $25K.

Therefore, the Vendor is willing to pay ~50% of ARR to identify active buyers.

How It Begins

Buyers Launch Their Process By Selecting Vendors To Engage With

1
Buyer Identifies Their Need

Buyer indicates the solution that they are seeking and the timeline in which they will engage with Vendors.

2
Buyer Reviews Vendor Profiles

Buyer familiarizes themselves with the Vendors in the solution category they have selected.

3
Vendors Bid To Be Selected Into a Buyer's Engagement Cycle

Each bid represents a cash amount that the Vendor will contribute to the Bank, if selected into the Buyer's Engagement Cycle.

4
Buyer Selects Vendors To Engage With

Buyer selects four Vendors to proceed to the Engagement Cycle, where they will further evaluate each Vendor's offering in order to identify the ideal partner and negotiate the best deal.

The Engagement Cycle

Your curated process to identify the ideal business partner and negotiate the best deal

1
Initiate

An Intro meeting is held with each Vendor to confirm requirements.

After the Intros are completed, Buyer will select three Vendors to proceed to the Evaluate stage.

2
Evaluate

Each remaining Vendor will conduct a Demo to showcase the product's value and alignment to the Buyer’s needs.

After the Demos are completed, Buyer will select two Vendors to proceed to the Negotiate stage.

3
Negotiate

Each remaining Vendor will present a pricing proposal, as well as any associated service agreements. Buyer will review each proposal, and may counter-offer, red-line, or otherwise request changes, if desired.

After the Negotiations are completed, Buyer will select one Vendor to advance to the Close/Won stage.

4
Close

Congratulations! You have evaluated the optimal business partner, and negotiated the best deal!

At closing you earn all of the money accumulated in the Bank!

How The Bank Works

Buyers earn money at each stage as they progress through the Engagement Cycle.

Initiate

You have selected 4 Vendors into the Engagement Cycle, which begins with an Intro meeting with each Vendor.

At this stage, 10% of each Vendor's bid is added into the Bank.

Evaluate

You have selected 3 Vendors to advance to the Evaluate stage, where Demos will be conducted.

At this stage, an incremental 20% of each remaining Vendor's bid is added into the Bank.

Negotiate

You have selected 2 Vendors to advance to the Negotiate stage, where pricing proposals will be presented.

At this stage, an incremental 30% of each remaining Vendor's bid is added into the Bank.

Closed/Won

Congratulations! You have selected a winning Vendor!

At this stage, the remaining 40% of the winning Vendor's bid is added to the Bank.

In aggregate, the Bank contains: 100% of the winning Vendor’s bid, plus 60% of the second-place Vendor’s bid, plus 30% of the third-place Vendor’s bid, plus 10% of the fourth-pace Vendor’s bid.  ‍For example, if each selected Vendor bid $10,000, the Bank would contain $20,000.

The Payout

The Bank amount is immediately deducted from the Buyer's invoice (above and beyond the normal discount from list price), instantly reducing the Buyer's out-of-pocket cost!

CAC Market is the only place where Buyers can capture the value of their engagement and translate it into real-money in the Bank.
