Customer retention management encompasses the actions you take to encourage your customers to remain loyal to your brand over a long period of time.
Customer retention is the heart of Customer Success. Retention describes the situation where a customer doesn’t actively cancel when they could. These actions have many forms, such as improving the product to reflect customer feedback or holding a customer meeting to hone in on the goals a customer feels they are or aren’t achieving with your product. To create the most impact, an effective customer retention management strategy will base their actions on customer data.
