🔁 Retention

Most cancellations have a fixable reason behind them. The account manager here listens first, finds the real issue and offers a fix instead of a discount.

## Script (2 speakers)

Customer: Hi, I'd like to cancel our subscription at the end of the month. Manager: I'm sorry to hear that. Before I process it, can I ask what's behind the decision? Customer: We're just not using it enough to justify the cost. Manager: That's helpful to know. Who on your team was using it most? Customer: Mostly Dev. But he left in March. <sigh> Nobody else really learned it. Manager: So the tool didn't stop working, the person who knew it left. Customer: Yeah, basically. Manager: What if I run a one-hour training for your team this week, free, and we pause billing for a month? Customer: <short pause> That's fair. Let's try that before we cancel.
