Where the research goes to work
Three ways inChurnRX
My company. It runs this research on your own customer base — your actual start, renewal, and cancellation records — and shows which customers are bonded, which are leaving, and why.
Speaking
Keynotes and executive sessions on what the evidence says about retention.
Advisory
Ongoing counsel for CEOs and revenue leaders putting the evidence to work in their own retention strategy.
I’ve spent my career on a single, stubborn question: why do customers actually stay?
The question got its teeth from our worst customer — unhappy, demanding, always complaining — who kept renewing anyway. When I finally asked why, the answer was: “Why would we cancel when you get us such good results?”
Everything since has been an attempt to test that answer against the evidence — not opinions or surveys, but the recorded behavior of customers themselves: when they start, how they use what they bought, and exactly when they leave. I’ve now measured it across the histories of 1.3 million B2B software customers.
The answer held. Customers don’t stay because they’re happy — they stay when they’re getting results they can’t get anywhere else. That’s what I bring to the leadership teams I advise and the audiences I speak to, and it’s why I built ChurnRX: to measure it for everyone else. The first full report comes out this August.
20+ years proving what actually keeps customers.
