Churn is silent profit killer. We measure why customers leave, identify at-risk customers before they churn, and implement strategies to improve retention. Reducing churn 5% often creates more value than acquiring 50% more customers.
The Challenge
No idea why customers are leaving
High churn offset by aggressive acquisition
Poor onboarding setting customers up to fail
No proactive outreach to keep customers engaged
Assume churn is normal when it's actually fixable
What's Included
Current churn rate with trends and cohort analysis
Interviews with 10-20 churned customers to understand why they left
Why customers churn: product gap, price, service, competitive threat
Early warning system to identify customers likely to churn
Interventions to reduce churn (onboarding, check-ins, product, pricing)
Why It Matters
Most Australian SMEs obsess over acquisition and ignore retention. Bad move. Retaining one more customer often has 5-10x the value of acquiring one new customer. Churn analysis reveals why you're losing revenue and how to stop it.

Complementary Services
Customer lifetime value is how much revenue a customer generates over their entire relationship with you. We calculate CLV for your business, then use it to guide acquisition spending. Knowing CLV lets you confidently invest in growth.
Revenue concentration—too much revenue from too few customers—is hidden risk. We measure your concentration risk, identify dependent customers, and build strategies to diversify revenue so business is resilient.
Email is the highest-ROI channel for SME growth. We design and build automated email sequences that nurture leads, onboard customers, and re-engage dormant accounts. From welcome series to win-back campaigns, your email works 24/7 to deepen relationships and drive repeat revenue.
