Acquire Customers
New customers are calculated from marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
This editable five-year spreadsheet forecasts singing telegram revenue from acquired customer cohorts, billable hours, and hourly rates, then produces financial statements and scenario views.
Plan how marketing spend, customer acquisition, service mix, customer lifetime, billable hours, and hourly pricing flow into revenue and financial results.
Change the launch, acquisition, tier, lifetime, hours, and rate assumptions; linked calculations update the model’s monthly and annual forecast outputs.
Revenue starts with marketing-driven customer acquisition, carries customers through tier-specific lifetimes, converts active customers into billable hours, and applies hourly rates by tier.
New customers are calculated from marketing spend divided by customer acquisition cost.
New customers are allocated across service tiers using the entered tier percentages.
Starting customers and still-active cohorts remain in the customer base for each tier’s lifetime.
Active customers are multiplied by average billable hours per customer each month.
Tier billable hours are multiplied by hourly rates, then summed across tiers and months.
The Revenue sheet links launch timing, marketing acquisition, customer allocation, cohort lifetimes, billable hours, and hourly rates to the client-cohort revenue forecast.

Building the model from scratch would’ve eaten my week, but this template got the projections done in an afternoon. It saved me at least 10 hours and let me move on to pricing and outreach.
I’m not strong in Excel, so having the tabs and formulas already set up made this much easier to use. I filled in my numbers, and the model was ready for review without me getting stuck on technical pieces.
I wasn’t sure what lenders and investors would expect, but this format showed the right outputs right away. It gave me a cleaner story for the meeting and helped me get the pitch deck into shape faster.
