Home Action’s Success Story
The Challenge
The HomeActions & IndustryNewsletters Customer Success and Support teams had the following challenges:
- Unable to effectively monitor their client base for satisfaction with the product.
- Limited ability to segment customers by lifecycle stage based on their interactions with the product.
- Knee-jerk reactions to cancellations instead of being able to determine potential problems ahead of time.
- Manual process for developing campaigns to inform and educate the customer base on key product features.
- Disconnect between information reported between CRM and product platform resulting in reliance on IT to provide critical data.
The Process
HomeActions & IndustryNewsletters partnered with ChurnZero for its customer churn solution and did the following:
- Integrated their CRM and product platform with ChurnZero: There was a focus to obtain accurate, real-time data without the need to go to IT every time to obtain it.
- Launched NPS surveys: To reduce churn, Pete had to first get a handle on what customers thought of the product and service offered.
- Created segment by targeted groups: Customers were grouped by lifecycle stage based on product interactions, tenure, annual revenue, features purchased, renewal cycle, and other criteria.
- Developed automated Plays: Since ChurnZero is dynamic and real-time, automatic campaigns were created that instantly responded to customers based on the targeted criteria being monitored.
The Impact
In less than a year, HomeActions and IndustryNewsletters has seen the following results:
- +21% in overall customer retention.
- A return on investment of over 2000% on out-of-pocket cost.
- A ten-point improvement in NPS.
- Increased customer referrals.
- Significant improvement in client communications.
- Total company now focused on the importance of churn.
- Higher earnings for sales staff due to less back charges on cancellations.
- Capability to view, in real-time, key user interactions without going through IT.
