I thought this was commonly known, but I keep seeing it all over the place. All CEOs think like this. Customer acquisition is a metric all sales departments use. Is it because he's saying the quiet part out loud?

It’s not even “the quiet part”. Like, it’s completely legit for a business to think in terms of business. Investment is, indeed, what businesses are doing.
