Research Strategy
We were unable to provide the revenue per employee and the customer acquisition costs for the management consulting industry, the LTV of B2B SaaS and B2C consumer products companies, and the churn rates of B2C consumer products companies. For some of these benchmarks, we were able to provide useful information that was within our reach, such as the global revenue per employee for the management consulting industry. For other benchmarks (i.e. customer acquisition costs for the management consulting industry and LTV of B2C consumer products companies), we were unable to provide any information after looking through news outlets, industry reports, and company reports, among other related sources. We also attempted to calculate each benchmark, but there were not enough companies that provided the specific benchmarks for us to come up with an average number.
