IT Glue Helps MSPs Retain Customers & ImprovE Productivity
The financial losses from customer turnover run far deeper than just the lost MRR. The ripple effects of losing customers can lead to large cash flow deficits, as well as time and resource optimization issues. To avoid these costly repercussions, it is essential that you recognize and effectively address the four key pillars of successful customer retention strategies. Doing so will minimize your business’s susceptibility to negative impacts caused by consumer churning.
THE FOUR COSTSOF CUSTOMER LOSS
The true cost of customer loss is made up of four key cost factors: direct costs, acquisition costs, social costs, and operational costs.
Direct Costs
Direct costs encompass the impact a lost customer has on your revenue both now and in the future. It includes the often overlooked cost of lost potential account growth.
Acquisition Costs
Did you know that it costs up to 25X* more to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one? Even if you replace each customer you lose, you significantly hinder your profit growth potential.
Social Costs
According to a Zendesk survey**, 95% of people share bad experiences with others, and 45% share those bad experiences over social media. Among those who share bad experiences, they tell an average of 5 people. So, a lost customer can quickly snowball into additional loss – both with your current and potential customer bases.
Operational Costs
When offboarding a lost customer, you need to ensure all property has been returned and client details are shared with the new provider. This operational cost comes after the point at which you’ll receive no additional revenue; it’s just deadweight cost.
