Churn Rate & Churn Prevention

Definition

The percentage of users who stop using your product; Churn Prevention is the proactive work to keep them.

Why it matters

Churn is the "silent killer" of SaaS. Even a 5% churn rate can destroy your long-term growth. Prevention isn't about giving discounts; it's about making sure your customers are actually hitting their goals using your tool. If they are succeeding, they won't leave.
