Customers churn because they don’t want to use your product anymore, right? Well, not necessarily. There’s this “little” thing called involuntary churn that’ll slowly eat away at your business if you let it go unchecked. And unfortunately, a lot of SaaS and subscription-based companies don’t take any action to stop it from happening. The end result is unnecessary cancellations, lost revenue, sadness, despair, misery, nightmares… Ok, maybe that’s a little extreme.

Does your marketing often drop the L-bomb? You know the one: leads. They obsess over building perfect websites, landing pages, forms, content, and call-to-actions to have a modicum of chance to catch a prospect’s eye and attract their interest.
