🧠 Why This Works

This prompt applies root cause analysis specifically to customer churn — decomposing aggregate churn rate into actionable segments (voluntary vs. involuntary, early vs. late, feature-driven vs. price-driven). By categorizing before solving, it prevents the common mistake of applying one retention tactic to fundamentally different churn causes.

📅 When to Use This Prompt

Use when monthly churn exceeds your target, when you notice churn increasing but don't know why, or when building a retention strategy from scratch. Critical for SaaS companies past 100 customers where individual outreach no longer scales and systematic approaches are needed.

🎯 What You'll Get

You get a churn diagnostic framework covering churn segmentation, identified patterns in churned accounts, early warning signals to monitor, a prioritized retention playbook with specific interventions for each churn type, and win-back email sequences for recoverable accounts.
