LTV-first stack
- CRM flags high-value stage events (fee-signed, AUM over X)
- Server-side conversion API pushes these back with fee value
- Meta/Google bid strategies set to Value, not Leads
- Custom columns in reporting show cost per HNW-client, not cost per lead
Impact
CPL rises 30-60%, cost per high-value client drops 40-70%.
