You: I wanted to reach out because we noticed youβve stopped using our service. Iβd love to get your feedback on your experience. Can you share what led you to stop?
Prospect: It just wasnβt meeting my needs.

FAQ
What should I do if the customer is upset?
If the customer expresses dissatisfaction, listen actively and validate their feelings. Apologize for their negative experience and focus on how you can help resolve their concerns. Emphasizing improvements made since their departure can also help rebuild trust.
How often should I follow up with churned customers?
Follow up every 4-6 weeks after initial contact. This keeps your company top-of-mind without overwhelming them. Ensure each interaction adds value, whether through new features, updates, or personalized offers that meet their needs.
