Professional Services & Agencies
Retain retainer clients and prevent project churn
62%of agency client churn is relationship-driven, not results-driven
Agency and professional services churn is fundamentally different — it's about relationships, not product features. The best cancel interventions route directly to account managers and facilitate conversations that uncover the real issue before the client walks out the door.
