?? 4 Ways to Turn It Up with Churn Analysis ??

Okay, we've all acknowledged the problem: businesses are experiencing unsustainable churn rates. Now it's time to solve it.?

Conducting churn analysis interviews not only helps you understand what went wrong with the churned customer. The findings of these interviews can help drive performance across the organization.

?? Align customer expectations with customer experience ??

• Uncover gaps between what the customer felt they were told during the buying cycle and the reality they experienced on the ground.

??Shorten customers' time-to-value??

• Churn interviews let you dive into each phase of the customer lifecycle so you can find efficiencies and get your customers up to speed sooner.?

?? Get intel on competitors' market strategy????

• A customer churning to a competitor is your cue to probe into how, when and why your customer was targeted. With that intel, you can proactively defend accounts and glean your competitor's customer acquisition strategy.

?? Learn what customers actually value ???

• Customers churn because they didn't realize enough value to justify the expense. Dig into what would have made the difference — and make those changes.

It's more important than ever for you to reduce churn. The intel revealed through churn analysis interviews will help you get there.

But we won't make you do it on your own.
