Customer attrition is a big business killer and every business deals with it. It is one of the few metrics that can be directly correlated to revenue. Reduce attrition among paying customers, and you’ll be rewarded with higher revenue, guaranteed. It’s a tough situation for businesses, but one that can be tackled and overcome. So, how businesses can reduce churn and save your bottom line?

Many companies have a sense that customer retention is a challenge, but they don’t have the systems in place to obtain the actionable data required to remedy this issue. Keeping your customers is not magic. There are many reasons why your customer base could be churning. To reduce churn rate, all it takes is learning how to spot where the leaks in your bucket are and knowing what to do to plug them. Consumer lending is a competitive business and lenders must remain vigilant at the threat of losing their existing borrowers. Borrowers are more likely to consider refinancing options whenever existing mortgage deals revert to a standard rate. Unfortunately, this means that the lending industry has some of the worst customer retention rates of any businesses.​

​What does it take to manage to retain your best customers?​

​Customer retention doesn’t improve overnight. The first step to increasing retention is to understand why you’re losing existing customers, or what stops them from coming back. 

Customer Retention Strategies 

Customer retention means that a single customer will continue to buy from you over several years – which is described as the Lifetime Value (LTV) of your customer. Establishing the LTV of a customer over the lifetime of their business relationship with you shows the importance of looking after your customers.​
