Customer Experience — Wed., Sep. 8, 2021

Customer churn is a top concern for B2B firms, as it can devastate their bottom line. The best way to reduce churn is to create a robust customer retention plan that both retains current customers and gives a solid grounding to scale the business. Education should sit at the center of the onboarding process and customers should be provided with problem-solving resources. Monitor customer behavior for red flags and create a personalized service offering. Additionally, listen to customer feedback, make communication a priority, and remind customers of their value.

When customers are educated about a solution's potential and provided with resources to solve problems, loyalty is more likely to be solidified. Monitor customer behavior for signs of waning interest and reach out to try and help. Create loyalty schemes and personalized messages to create a valuable customer experience. Communicate regularly and show customers how their feedback is being used. Remind customers of their value through tokens of gratitude.

By using these suggestions as a foundation, businesses can create a customer retention plan that will inspire loyalty, create buzz, and help to retain customers. Further resources on customer retention plans can be found through podcasts, infographics, and articles.
