This video explores how to evaluate engagement throughout a customer's journey, and identify risk of potential attrition well before they push the cancel button.
- Many long-time membership organizations…brag about their loyalty.…They tell me how their members have been around…for 20 years on average,…or how no one ever cancels.…But for me, this kind of loyalty is suspicious.…How can you tell the difference between loyalty and inertia?…First of all, ask them.…Surveys, even really simple ones…like the Net Promoter System,…can provide a good indicator of member satisfaction…and can serve as a canary in the coal mine,…signaling dissatisfaction.…
