In this course on Building Retention Readiness for Sales Teams, you’ll learn the difference between proactive and reactive retention approaches and how they strengthen customer loyalty.

Then, you’ll learn how to handle these churn risks before they become costly. Next, you’ll examine how to combine CLV and churn risk scoring with sensitivity analysis to allocate resources where they create the greatest impact.
