Customer Churn & Retention
We help organizations to systematically identify the root causes of churn & eliminate them.
It’s sick to see customers leaving. Sometimes it hits us hard, but many times we even don’t know if a customer has really left!
Customer Churn is the proportion of customers who wouldn’t return back to do business with an organization as a proportion of their total customer base. It’s also called known as Customer Attrition or Customer Defection.
