Q1: How did you decide which acquisition channels to prioritize?

  • Expected Answer: Decisions based on ROI potential, customer behavior, and market research.

  • Expected Answer: Use defined KPIs like lead volume, conversion rates, and revenue.
  • Sample Answer: “I would measure by achieving 200 qualified leads, maintaining a 12% conversion rate, and ensuring CAC stays under $300.”
