Churn Prevention & Retention vs SaaS Business Health Diagnostic

Churn Prevention & Retention

By Corey Haines (Marketing)

Design cancel flows, save offers, and payment recovery to keep more subscribers.

SaaS Business Health Diagnostic

By Dean Peters (PM)

Diagnose your SaaS business health, spot red flags, and prioritize what to fix first.

Churn Prevention & Retention

• Designs complete cancellation flows with exit surveys and targeted save offers
• Maps different cancel reasons to the right retention offers (discounts, pauses, feature unlocks)
• Sets up failed payment recovery sequences to reduce involuntary churn
• Provides templates for exit surveys that identify why customers are leaving
• Creates offer strategies based on your pricing, plans, and customer segments

SaaS Business Health Diagnostic

• Assesses business health across four dimensions: growth & retention, unit economics, capital efficiency, and strategic position
• Identifies red flags and categorizes them by urgency (critical, high priority, medium priority)
• Applies stage-specific benchmarks so early-stage businesses aren't judged by scale-stage standards
• Delivers a comprehensive scorecard with clear, prioritized action items
• Connects metrics together to reveal systemic issues (e.g., strong growth masking poor unit economics)
