About This Whitepaper
Customer retention is an important topic for many reasons, but the most compelling is also the most simple: your existing customers are extremely valuable. According to research by Gartner Group, 80% of your future sales will come from 20% of your customers. Further, a Harvard Business School report states that increasing your customer retention by just 5% increases profits by 25-95%.
This information highlights something we already believe here at ReSci – that it’s crucial for businesses to invest in understanding and retaining their customers. Our data science team spends a lot of time thinking deeply about customer retention for commercial businesses, so we decided to dive deeper on the retention metrics most important to your business.
This whitepaper strives to provide insight on retention metrics, providing definitions for some of our core measurements and predictions. By influencing these metrics, we believe that companies can improve their businesses and keep their customers happy.
These definitions will include both high-level descriptions as well as deeper technical discussions.
