Churn analysis
Also known as Customer churn analysis, Churn reasons
Churn analysis is the work of finding out which customers leave, when, and why, so you can fix the reasons that are in your control and spot the warning signs earlier.
What is the difference between voluntary and involuntary churn?
Voluntary churn is a customer choosing to leave. Involuntary churn is losing a customer by accident, usually through failed payments. They need different fixes: the first is about the product and its value, the second about billing and payment recovery.
Where do churn reasons come from?
Cancellation surveys and exit interviews are the obvious sources, but the most honest evidence often comes earlier: support tickets, unanswered questions in onboarding, and what customers said on sales calls about why they were buying. The gap between why they bought and what they got is usually the churn reason.
Why is studying churned customers hard?
Most research is done with the customers who stayed, because they are easier to reach. That skews what the team hears. Talking to people shortly after they leave, while they still remember why, fills the gap.
