Why do customers leave? And what can we do about it?
The most important thing for me was understanding why customers are leaving. They are many reasons ...
In Calendesk's case, we often hear the following:
Too expensive đź’°: This is typically from solo entrepreneurs who are not our primary target audience. We aim for 10-50 employee businesses. Also, a good sign is that we are not too cheap.
Too complicated ❌: This is a good one and super important. We try to address it by scheduling calls to onboard customers. Still a lot of work here with UI/UX.
Just testingđź’ˇ: Some customers mentioned they were testing the product, but we could not gather more information. We need to work on it more. Any ideas here?
Not bringing in customers 🤑: This is not our function as we don't do marketing for our customers to find them customers. Nothing we can do here.
Our analysis suggests that most churning customers are not our target audience, and we must focus on improving our UX/UI. We plan to improve our communication with customers to understand better how they discovered our product, optimize our landing page, and work on enhancing our app's usability.
I wonder about your experience. Let's share!
What do you think is the most effective way to optimize your landing page and improve your app's usability? Are there any other strategies you've tried that have been successful in reducing customer churn?
To optimize a landing page and improve app usability, it's important to use data-driven strategies like user testing and tools such as Clarity or HotJar.
Simplifying the design and messaging can also help improve the landing page, while offering onboarding materials and user-friendly navigation can reduce churn. They are also many patterns in how the SaaS website should be structured. I want to follow them, for example: https://twitter.com/helloitsolly/status/1628011166256488449
Other effective strategies? providing excellent customer support, and gathering ongoing feedback from users. This always helps.
Interesting insights and strategies shared. Thanks for the information!
