Brittany’s App of the Week: ChurnZero
Brittany Lieu
By Brittany Lieu, Marketing Consultant at Heinz Marketing
What’s better than a closed-won deal? Creating and retaining a loyal customer.
As our understanding of the traditional revenue funnel morphs into what looks more like a bow-tie, companies emphasize the importance of customer retention stages as a crucial part of the buyer’s journey.
How is your team measuring success post sale, maximizing customer lifetime value and minimizing churn rate?
The best approach to helping your new customers realize value, become loyalists and hopefully brand ambassadors, is to proactively show you care. As advocates for both your brand and your customers, equip your customer success teams with the training and tools to strategically convert new customers to loyal ones.
This week’s app helps you do exactly that.
