That zero cost customer acquisition caught his eye and mine too. Is there anyplace you can go to learn acquisition costs for these different companies? And has anything been written on the zero cost acquisition models? Marlon Sanders Hey,

Is there anyplace you can go to learn acquisition costs for these different companies? And has anything been written on the zero cost acquisition models?

This is a passionate vision driven by my groups interest in creating social value, while also building new wealth from underserved communities. PhoenX Group Inc sees the wave coming in the next two years. It will redirect wasted IT dollars and manual systems for higher education into SaaS centric operational systems. I wrote a white paper on this topic available to anyone interested. The PhoenX Event, Rising out of the ashes of legacy think in education.
