4. we look at simple
What is the
retention problem?
80% of future revenue
will come from as little as
20% of existing customer
(Gartner).
Yet most companies don’t
have effective retention
programs.
Consider conversion rates online which
can be as low as 3% for new visitors.
Existing customers on the other hand can
renew at volumes greater than 80%
depending upon the brand and industry.
If we look at a wireline provider who
tends to have a churn rate of between 2 -
2.5% per month even with a modest
customer base of 5 million, that means
an estimated 1.3m customers or $2b in
revenue is lost every year. Frightening
numbers. The revenue opportunities
associated with an increase in retention
can be massive.

8. Stage 1:
Information
gathering
Journey begins on a
comparison website
accessed on a tablet.

9. Stage 2: Purchase process
User selects the right product, and completes the purchase online
with the selected provider.

10. Stage 3:
In-life
customer
support
Customer will have a
number of experiences
during the period of service
that will impact their
propensity to churn or
renew.

12. EXAMPLE

13. Qubit Decipher Dashboard using Tableau for visualisation
using dummy data.
Using predictive
analytics we can select
a channel (highlighted)
and determine
propensity to churn
(risk)
Red is churn, green is
renewal. Here Direct
has a very low chance
of churn, but vertical
search (highlighted) is
high.
Highest risk channel
Lowest risk channel

14. Qubit Decipher Dashboard using Tableau for visualisation
using dummy data.
In the Vertical Search channel, we
can click on a specific affiliate and
drill down a list of contacts who
entered the site through that channel,
and determine their risk of churning

15. Qubit Decipher Dashboard using Tableau for visualisation
using dummy data.
Here we can click on Paid Search,
and see the risk associated with
certain key words. From there, we
could also drill down the visitor
information to determine which
visitors are at risk.
‘Cheap Car Insurance” in this
example has a 30% chance of
churning, so we would adapt our
marketing spend accordingly.

using dummy data.
Next we can go to the Visitor Page
Dashboard to analyse how a user’s
actions on the site 30 days after
signup can signal their intent to
churn.
In this example, we see that
homepage visits have a low risk of
churn, where as FAQ has a high risk.
So, users visiting the FAQ page
within 30 days of signing up
represent a great opportunity to
reduce churn.
Highest risk behaviour

using dummy data.
Finally, we can have a
look at all the data to
determine the size of our
problem. From there, we
can drill down on entry
points to determine
which present the
biggest risk, and exactly
what that risk is.
This analysis will inform
what brands, affiliates,
keywords etc we should
be spending our
marketing budget on.

18. we look at simple
Personalising
the experience
The next 2 slides we look at
how to personalise the
experience for at risk users.
1) Personalising by cross-selling
a product that reduces
propensity to churn
2) Targeting users on the FAQ
page with a rang of
personalised and relevant
discounts to lock them in and
reduce churn.
