Customers leave for many reasons, and it’s not always because they’re unsatisfied. Businesses often acquire new customers rather than winning back churned ones, believing they’re a lost cause. However, these customers hold the highest ROI potential. How can you reengage them before it’s too late?

Customer retention marketer Dan Pfister leverages a proven system to win back lost customers. It involves identifying why your customers left and whether it’s profitable to reengage them. You can accomplish this through qualitative and quantitative surveys. Once you have a list of customers you want to retain, Dan advises determining their needs and creating additional value through personalized offers. You can also prevent churn by communicating with your customers consistently and encouraging them to provide feedback.
