Customer base & protecting it are very critical for the survival & growth of any business. Customer churn is one of the major challenges that erode the revenues of any company/startup. Customer retention is the process of reducing churn & engaging with existing customers to keep them active & retain them as paying customers.
Having said that, Customer Retention has 2 important elements:
1. Proactive retention:
- You take action before they intend to churn
- Comes with Observation & Data
- Identify Vulnerabilities
- Create an Action plan to retain
- Intervene before they move on
- Its a preventive approach
- Delights Customers

2. Reactive retention
- Customer has decided or churned
- You react to it
- Come up with a retention plan
- Offers or Customised
- Creates doubts when moving
- May decide to stay back based on past experience
- Reactive approach
- Lower retention ratio
- Impacts experience
