Churn Management: Identifying at-risk clients before they leave (Health Score)
To avoid Churn (cancellation), you can't just wait for the client to ask to leave. You need to monitor risk signals using data platforms like Jestor, Gainsight, or Totango, which calculate a "Health Score" based on client behavior.
Silent cancellation signals
Clients rarely cancel out of the blue. They give signals months in advance:
- Stopped using the system (Logins dropped).
- Opened 5 support tickets complaining about bugs.
- Delayed invoice payment.
If these data points are in separate systems (App, Zendesk, Finance), no one sees the pattern.
Calculating Risk in Jestor
Jestor centralizes this data to create an alert.
Health Score Automation:
- If "Logins in last 30 days" < 5 → Medium Risk.
- If "Complaint Tickets" > 3 → High Risk.
- Action: Jestor automatically creates a task for the Account Manager: "Call Client X immediately. Churn risk detected."
