Churn & Retention Research
The problem, in the customer's voice
What this recipe does
Customers cancel and the business is left guessing whether it was price, value, a missing feature or a bad experience. Start with the traces customers leave behind. Analytics shows where usage tails off before a cancellation, CRM and win-loss data show patterns in who leaves, and live chat logs surface the complaints that recur. A cancellation survey then quantifies the leading reasons, and interviews with churned customers explain the why behind the numbers. The layers turn a vague churn figure into specific, addressable causes.
Explore. Focus.
Explore
Read the traces customers leave behind: usage, CRM patterns, recurring complaints.
Focus
Quantify the leading reasons, then hear the why in customers' own words.
Where's Validate? For this problem, validation lands in the experimentation programme itself: the hypotheses this research produces become A/B tests and product bets, measured against the outcome metric.
