I’ve spent my career on a single, stubborn question: why do customers actually stay?
The question got its teeth from our worst customer — unhappy, demanding, always complaining — who kept renewing anyway. When I finally asked why, the answer was: “Why would we cancel when you get us such good results?”
Everything since has been an attempt to test that answer against evidence. Not opinions, not surveys — the recorded behavior of customers themselves: when they start, how they use what they bought, and exactly when they leave. The first full report comes out this August.
20+ years proving what actually keeps customers.
