The economics of customer retention are well-established: **increasing retention by just 5% increases profits by 25–95%** (Bain & Company). Acquiring a new customer costs 5–7x more than retaining an existing one. Yet most companies invest disproportionately in acquisition while underinvesting in retention.

### How do you identify at-risk customers? We use a combination of usage analytics (login frequency, feature adoption), payment signals (failed payments, downgrade requests), engagement scores (email opens, support tickets), and predictive models to flag at-risk customers before they cancel.
### What save rate can I expect on cancellation calls? Our average save rate on cancellation calls is 22%, compared to an industry average of 12–15%. Rates vary by industry, product, and the flexibility of retention offers.
### Can you run retention campaigns in multiple languages? Yes. We run retention and win-back campaigns in all 29 supported languages, ensuring at-risk customers are contacted in their preferred language.
### How do you measure retention ROI? We track preserved MRR (monthly recurring revenue saved through retention), cost per save, win-back revenue, NPS improvement, and retention team ROI (revenue preserved ÷ retention programme cost).
### What authority do retention agents have to offer discounts? Authority levels are defined during onboarding based on your approval matrix. Typical tiers: agents can offer up to 20% discount, team leads up to 40%, and anything above requires supervisor/client approval.
