The short answer

Acquisition without contribution and payback is how companies buy unprofitable growth. Rank channels by CAC and payback, rank segments by contribution and retention, and only then spend. If the best customers are already in the book, retention and wallet-share are cheaper than another top-of-funnel push.

How to tell this is actually your problem

The move that usually makes it worse: Buying more of the same leads while the unit economics of the last cohort are still unknown.

Questions people ask

Should we spend more on ads to get more customers?

Only on a channel whose payback you can name. More spend on an unknown unit is not acquisition strategy.

Is this the same as a sales-plateau problem?

Sometimes. If you cannot get more of the customers you already know how to sell to, you may have a segment problem, not an acquisition problem. See also sales-have-stopped-growing.
