Three strategies to fight churn.

The markets are down, currencies are down, and inflation is up. While every downturn is different, these signals are familiar and they suggest we’re nearing a recession. New sales leads will start to slow, win rates will narrow, deals will take longer to close, and customers will start to churn. It can be a scary time, but we’ve been here before — and there’s a playbook for how to weather these conditions.

We saw this work when Untappd, a geosocial networking platform for beer aficionados, spotted a pattern of distress affecting their smallest customers. As lockdowns took effect, these micro-businesses in the restaurant and bar industry were trying to cut every cost. Knowing which customers were feeling the most pain was key to how Untappd was ultimately able to retain them.

We then began by engaging with our customers in the most at risk cohorts. We asked them if they were struggling and how we could help. We talked about how other customers in their industry were dealing with its challenges and decided to be as flexible as we could with them. If our conversation resulted in them asking for different things, we gave them the benefit of the doubt. If they asked for a pause in payment, the answer was yes.

To do this, you’ll want to monitor your product usage data closely and reach out to any customers whose usage dips. Your Customer Success team should ask them how they’re being impacted by the downturn, and offer any resources and expertise.
