What is Customer Churn?
$
$ $ Simply stated:
$ $ $ It’s the act of losing
$ your customers
$
$ $ due to competitive
$ $ pressure,
$
$ $ unhealthy
relationships,
$ financial
$ $ $ constraints, etc.
REACTIVE! How do most of us
deal with customer
churn?
Customer Churn Costs
• The average consumer service
company experiences between
30% and 70% customer churn
annually
• The average company has
between a 60% and 70%
probability of success selling
more services to a current
customer. These figures drop to
a 20% to 40% probability, and
then to a 5% to 20% probability,
when selling to former
customers or prospects,
respectively
• Last year, customer churn
collectively cost wireless
operators an estimated $10
billion. And that’s just the costs
of activating and deactivating
services
Customer Churn Costs
$
$ $ • As little as a 5% reduction in
customer churn can boost net
$ $ profits by as much as 20%
$
$
$ • A 5% monthly churn rate for a
services industry means a
$ $
company has to acquire 1.7
$ digital customers just to keep
$ one
$ $
$ • Hundreds of studies have
proven that most companies
$ spend $10 to acquire a new
$ donor for $1 spent in retention
$ $ strategies!
Knowing this, why
don’t we invest
more in our current
customers?

Case Study: AccuQuote
• A leading provider of term life insurance
• The Challenge
• Inbound leads needed to be better prioritized for
the sales team
• “We knew that 20% of our leads were unlikely to
move through to paid status – the problem was
that we didn’t know which leads were which.”
• Sean Cheyney, Vice President of Marketing and Business
Development
Case Study: AccuQuote
• The Solution:
• Score leads based on their likelihood to convert
to policies
• Leads are ranked on a scale of 1 to 10 with 1
being most likely to convert and 10 being least
likely
• The most likely-to-purchase prospects are then
moved to the top of the queue for the outbound
dialer and handled by live agents
• Leads that are judged to be less likely to convert
are contacted through email or passed to
trainees

4. 9/30/2011
Case Study: AccuQuote
• The Result
• 4-5% increase in sales conversion overall
• Increase in conversion plus decrease in expense
leads to lower cost of acquisition
• A boost to sales team productivity — agents
gained an extra hour to spend on cross-sell and
needs analysis
• No loss of sales in the segment that received
email only
Case Study: Education Client
• A leading provider of educational support
services to consumer households
• The Challenge
• Thousands of leads coming in and being
distributed to franchise owners
• Dissatisfaction from franchise owners over
quality of leads
• Need to prioritize efforts to maximize revenue
• 3% lift in conversion equates to over $30mm in
additional revenue
Case Study: Education Client
• The Solution
• A multi-channel approach to following up on
leads based on lead quality
• Use a combination of phone, email and direct
mail to contact high potential consumers
• Use a lower cost contact method for lower
potential leads

Case Study: Education Client
• Example:
• High potential customers receive premium DVD,
personalized direct mail piece directing
consumer to personalized URL, email and
phone contacts on a set schedule over 2 weeks
• Low potential customers receive postcard only
Case Study: Education Client
• The Result
• Compared to a control group, the test group
utilizing a tiered, multi-channel approach saw a
41% increase in initial enrollments within the
targeted groups
• An overall 8% increase in conversion overall
• A 360% ROI

First…Who do you WANT to keep?
$ $
Formula for CLV
Present Value = Future
Value/(1+i)n
(1+i) = Interests N = No of Years
First…Who do you WANT to keep?
• The customer lifetime value can be used to drive decisions
such as which customers to target, how much to spend on
$ saving them, what is the most effective media to use to
$
communicate with them, and how best to serve them to
ensure that they remain loyal for years to come
• Common questions that service providers should be asking
to be used in analytics:
• Am I accurately capturing, on a per-subscriber basis, all relevant revenue and
cost events?
• Am I capturing information necessary to identify different types of churn; e.g.
structural, voluntary, and non-payment churn?
• What can the data tell me that I can act upon?
• Can I tell if my business is changing based on my data?
• Am I using the right data?
• When looking at how to keep my customers—am I recording (properly) why
they left?
Utilizing Business Intelligence in Retention
• First, you have to decide who you WANT to save
• Analytic data models and human analysis combine to return
$ recommendations on upselling and retaining individual
$
customers drives real value for providers
• Develop a customer contact strategy. Some companies have
a policy of six touches per year, remembering that a bill is not
a touch
• Don’t rely on statement stuffers to communicate
• Use analytics to predict defection. A modern database can
identify potential churners with an accuracy of better than
90%
• Understand the causes of churn and use this information in
your analytics
• Develop Lifetime Value ROI’s for your customers
