Hey folks! Thanks for checking out Baremetrics Cancellation Insights! The idea for this product actually came out of something we've been doing for years, which is collecting cancellation reasons and then putting them all in a spreadsheet so we could crunch the data. But that's a hacked together system and what we found was nearly every other SaaS company has also been hacking things together. So, we decided to just solve the dang problem. With Cancellation Insights we give you a small snippet of javascript which you embed and pass along the button you currently have on your site that your customers use to cancel. We then show a form automatically during the cancellation process where the customer can tell you why they're cancelling. From there, we can then help you understand and answer all sorts of questions like are your lowest paying customers actually costing you much? Are your infrastructure efforts reducing churn? Which competitors are costing you the most money? Then, as a cherry on top, we provide automated, customizable emails so you can continue the conversation, get even deeper insights and even work to win them back! In addition, these reasons get saved automatically to each customer's profile in Baremetrics so you can Segment your data by cancellation reasons! Thanks again for checking this out! If you have any questions at all, we're here to help! Check it out: https://baremetrics.com/features...

Can we add existing cancellation data to this?
Ken Wallace
This looks amazing! Here’s a question: does this replace the cancellation process a SaaS might already have in place, or is this intended to be just a survey to go along with your existing cancellation process? Another question: is it possible to trigger a webhook after a response is captured?
Josh Pigford
@boaticus Ken! This does not replace the process...it just inserts the form in to your existing process. So, presumably you've already got a cancel button/link somewhere. To oversimplify it, you basically tell us which button/link a user clicks to cancel their account, then when a user clicks it, we intercept the request, show the form, and then send the user on their way to where they were going to go to cancel. As for webhooks, we don't have that just yet. Waiting to see how folks use this before adding too many extras.

Josh knows wtf he's doing check out his rev growth: https://demo.baremetrics.com/sta... What I always admired about him is how much he checks in with customers to understand what's going on with them.

@andrewwarner Thanks Andrew! 🤗

Looks fantastic, can often be tricky to pin down what exactly in a product is causing churn amongst different customer segments - looks like this has it nailed! 💯
Josh Pigford
@jamesdevonport Thanks so much, James!

@shpigford This looks really cool and it's fantastic that you guys are focusing on solving this problem the right way which I believe has the potential to be much better than people just hacking things together. I love your UI too. I believe getting feedback from leaving customers is crucial but tricky and not easy. Have you been able to measure what percentage of drop-offs you were able to get feedback from?
Josh Pigford
@wadim_dominik_grasza Thanks for the kind words, Wadim! We don't have enough usage data just yet to quantifiably say "We get X% of feedback from your users". Hope to have more of that in the coming weeks. 🙂

Data is meaningless without action. This is action. The old way (circa October 8th, 2018) was to ask a question at the moment a customer cancels, hope they fill in the box with something meaningful, *maybe* tag that customer in your CS tool, and then let those responses sit in someone's inbox or get zapped into a spreadsheet for.... never. Now you can automate *specific followup sequences* based on their replies that can help win them back!

Churned customers are the most valuable customer that everyone forgets about. If they were your customer once, they already know the product. If a missing feature was why they left, you can win them back when you build that feature. And if they easily churned away from you once, you can get them to churn away from your competitors by treating them like HUMANS. Cancellation Insights is as close to human as it gets and it's going to be an invaluable tool in my customer research tool chest.

Pros:

You can know why your customers churn. Actually know. And follow up on that. Not just sit on it.

Cons:

Zero cons to knowing why your customers are churning. None.
