Blindspots in Your Customers’ Churn Journey

Churn is not caused by a single catastrophic event. It is the result of a customer journey marred by a series of frustrating and value-preventing events that you don’t even know are happening.

  • Unclear or overly optimistic marketing messages
  • Sales over-promising functionality and impact
  • Delayed implementations and inadequate training
  • Unresponsive support and infrequent customer success engagement

Thirdside examines your entire customer journey to identify frustration points and develop targeted strategies to improve the customer experience.

Dig Deeper

Surveys and Customer Satisfaction Metrics are Not Enough

While surveys and customer satisfaction metrics, such as CSAT, NPS, and CES can provide some insight into customer sentiment, they often fail to uncover the deeper reasons behind customer churn. These methods lack the depth and context needed to fully understand the human experience in the customer journey and identify the specific pain points that lead to churn.

What’s the Problem?

Do you Really Know Why ?

Every lost customer represents a missed opportunity for growth and a blow to your bottom line.
But do you really know why your customers are leaving?

Churn Journey Map: Your Playbook for Retention

Your customized churn journey map shows you exactly what your customers experience – from marketing & sales, through product, support, customer success and renewal

“I worked with Thirdside when I needed to understand why customers were leaving. The attrition data our field teams had entered into Salesforce consisted of “Value not attained,” “Competitor,” “Product fit,” and so on.

The trouble was that I couldn’t act against these reasons.

I asked Thirdside to reach out to all churned customers to tell me EXACTLY why they left, and they delivered. Thirdside helped me to create the churn journey map I use (and advocate for) every chance I can.”
