I not too long ago sat down with development knowledgeable (and present director of development at Planday) Frederic Linfjärd for 2 back-to-back superb conversations.
The primary was about conversion optimization (CRO) for SaaS and software program. (Yow will discover that interview right here).
We adopted it up with deep dive into churn. Particularly, how Fred slashed it by 50% in a earlier development position at a software program firm.
For instance, right here’s only one technique Fred shared with me throughout our dialog:
That is the “win-back interval.” It’s the time between a person canceling their subscription and when their subscription formally expires.
As Fred put it: “If a buyer cancels an annual subscription — however they’ve six months left to entry the product — which means I’ve six months to work on altering their thoughts.”
The win-back interval is a candy spot.
They nonetheless have entry to the product, so you possibly can observe their habits and provide related ideas and provides.
After their subscription runs out, it turns into a lot harder to win them again.
Fred’s technique is to personalize his messaging based mostly on how a lot time he has left.
The nearer to the shopper’s finish date, the extra aggressive he will get with messages and provides.
“If they’ve six months left, I’ll begin by sending them content material. However as the top date will get nearer, I may be extra aggressive with a reduction or further time on their subscription if they modify their thoughts.”
You possibly can hear rather more about Fred’s churn discount engine in our chat. Right here’s the complete recording:
