What is ACV in sales?
ACV stand for annual contract value, which represents the annual worth of an ongoing customer contract by calculating the contract’s average value over one year.
ACV in marketing helps assess the individual value of customers with a contract and compare it to the cost of acquiring them (CAC). It enables marketing teams to understand the long-term potential of customer contracts, evaluate acquisition strategies, and refine marketing efforts to target high-value customers while focusing on retention strategies.
