# Churn Prevention

> Reduce churn, build cancellation flows, set up save offers, recover failed payments, or…

Churn Prevention is a complete SaaS retention system that tackles both voluntary churn (customers choosing to leave) and involuntary churn (failed payments). It designs cancel flows with exit surveys and dynamic save offers matched to each cancellation reason, builds proactive health scoring to catch at-risk accounts before they ever click cancel, and sets up dunning sequences that recover failed payments. Because involuntary churn is often the easiest 30-50% to win back, this is frequently the fastest revenue you can reclaim.

## Use cases
- Building cancel flows with exit surveys and save offers
- Optimizing existing cancel flows to raise save rates
- Setting up dunning and failed-payment recovery
- Health scoring to flag at-risk accounts early
- Proactive retention interventions before cancellation
- Pause, downgrade and reactivation paths instead of full cancel

## Benefits
- Recover failed payments that silently cancel accounts: often the easiest churn to fix
- Save 25-35% of cancel sessions with reason-matched offers, not blanket discounts
- Catch at-risk customers weeks earlier with a weighted health score
- Protect lifetime value without dark patterns that breed bad reviews

## What’s included
- Five-step cancel flow design (trigger, survey, offer, confirmation, post-cancel)
- Offer-to-reason mapping (discount, pause, downgrade, feature unlock, outreach)
- 0-100 health score model from login, usage, support and billing signals
- Full dunning stack with smart retry logic by decline type
- Four-email dunning sequence with recovery benchmarks
- Churn metrics, cohort analysis and cancel-flow A/B test playbook

## Who it’s for
SaaS and subscription businesses that want to cut churn, recover failed payments and lift retention without resorting to manipulative tactics.

## How it runs
Customers leave through two doors: the cancel button and the failed card. Each gets its own machine here, from reason-matched save offers to decline-aware dunning, all measured with honest denominators.
1. Splits churn into its two machines first: voluntary (customer cancels, typically 50-70% of total) and involuntary (payment fails, 30-50% and usually the easier fix). Each gets a separate pipeline.
2. Builds the cancel flow as a fixed five-step sequence: trigger, exit survey (5-8 single-select reasons), a dynamic save offer matched to the stated reason, a clear confirmation, and a post-cancel reactivation path. No dark patterns, the cancel option stays visible.
3. Maps offer to reason instead of blanket discounting: too expensive gets 20-30% off for 2-3 months, low usage gets a 1-3 month pause, a missing feature gets the roadmap and a workaround, technical issues escalate straight to support.
4. Scores account health 0-100 from weighted signals (login frequency 30%, feature usage 25%, support sentiment 15%, billing health 15%, engagement 15) and fires proactive interventions below 60, before the customer ever clicks cancel.
5. Runs the dunning stack for failed payments: card-expiry pre-alerts, smart retries by decline type (soft declines retried over 7-10 days, hard declines go straight to a new-card request), and a 4-email sequence from a friendly day-0 alert to a day-10 final notice.
6. Measures with honest denominators: save rate per cancel session, offer acceptance rate, pause reactivation rate, dunning recovery rate, and churn cohorts by tenure and channel, including whether a saved customer was still active 30 days later.

## FAQ
### Does this plug into my billing setup for the failed-payment side?
The dunning and recovery logic is built around standard subscription events like a failed charge and retry, so it maps onto a provider such as Stripe. You connect it to your billing flow rather than replacing your payment processor.

### Won't save offers just teach customers to bluff a cancel for a discount?
That is exactly why the offers are matched to the stated cancellation reason instead of a blanket discount for everyone. A price objection and a missing-feature objection get different responses, so you are not handing money to people who would have stayed anyway.

### Will this stop churn if people leave because the product falls short?
No, retention mechanics slow the bleed but they cannot mask a product that does not deliver. The exit surveys surface that reason, and the fix for it lives in your roadmap, not the cancel flow.
