Improve churn save rates with simple risk segmentation, outreach timing, and weekly review—without building a data warehouse.

Blanket save campaigns feel spammy and underperform segmented outreach.

Three-tier save framework
Assign owner and intensity by tier.
- Tier 1 (high ARR or strategic): executive or CS lead within 24 hours
- Tier 2 (moderate risk): CS outreach with specific value recap
- Tier 3 (early warning): automated check-in plus human review if no response
Measure save motion quality
Track save rate by tier, time-to-first-outreach, and top cancellation reasons.
Product and onboarding teams improve faster when reasons are structured, not anecdotal.
