Churn Prevention
Definition
Proactive strategies and interventions designed to identify customers at risk of cancelling or leaving before they do, and taking targeted action to resolve their issues and retain them.
Why it matters
Preventing churn is always cheaper than replacing churned customers. Identifying at-risk customers through usage signals, satisfaction scores, or payment failures and acting swiftly can save a significant portion of revenue that would otherwise be lost.
Example
A founder notices that members who do not log into her platform within the first two weeks have a 70% churn rate at month three. She builds an automated intervention that sends a personal video and a free coaching call offer to any member who has not logged in by day ten, reducing early churn by 35%.
