  • How a Single Email Cut Customer Churn by 40 Percent

    Lucas and Luna examine the surprising power of post-purchase onboarding emails. They break down a real case from a mid-market SaaS company that reduced first-month churn by 40 percent simply by changing one automated email sequence. The episode walks through the specific trigger, timing, and content that made the difference, and explains why most companies get onboarding emails wrong. Lucas shares data on email open rates, click-through rates, and the cohort retention curves that improved. Luna challenges whether this approach works for non-digital products. They close with a framework any listener can adapt. No generic advice—just a concrete tactic with numbers and names.

  • The Net Promoter Score Trap in Customer Retention

    Lucas and Luna unpack why focusing solely on Net Promoter Score can mislead retention strategy. They examine a 2025 Harvard Business Review study showing that only 40 percent of 'promoters' actually behave loyally, and explore how SaaS companies like Mailchimp and Zoom have moved beyond NPS to behavioral metrics. The episode features a concrete case: how a mid-market CRM company saved $2.3 million annually by switching from NPS surveys to interaction-based churn prediction. Lucas explains the difference between attitudinal and behavioral loyalty, and Luna pushes back on whether NPS has any value at all. They land on a hybrid approach using NPS as a diagnostic, not a KPI, and discuss why companies like Klaviyo and HubSpot are now building retention models around product usage data rather than survey scores. The hosts close with a forward-looking question about whether the era of the survey is ending.

  • Why High LTV Customers Still Leave You

    Episode 5 of Customer Retention with Fexingo digs into a puzzle every marketer faces: why do your most valuable customers—the ones with the highest lifetime value—still churn? Lucas and Luna unpack the 'loyalty tax' problem using the case of Warby Parker's transition from online-only to retail stores. They explore how convenience gaps, brand drift, and emotional detachment cause your best segment to leave without warning. You'll learn why repeat purchase frequency can be a misleading metric and how to spot the early signs of 'silent defection' before it shows up in your cohort curves. If you've ever watched a five-year customer switch to a competitor for seemingly no reason, this episode gives you the framework to understand why—and what to do about it. Plus: a brief note on how listener support keeps the show ad-free and open to everyone.

  • Why Customer Retention Falls Off a Cliff After Month One

    Lucas and Luna dig into the 'month-one cliff' — the sharp drop in customer retention that plagues most subscription and SaaS businesses. They break down real data from The New York Times' 2023 subscription leak test, showing how 50-60% of new subscribers cancel within the first month. Lucas explains the four common patterns behind early churn: payment friction, poor onboarding, feature confusion, and the 'credit card roulette' phenomenon. They debate whether free trials actually help or hurt retention, and Lucas shares the one retention lever that consistently works: the 48-hour value trigger. Luna challenges whether retention teams over-rotate on month one while ignoring slow-burn churn from long-term users. The episode closes with a practical framework: the 'retention batting cage' concept borrowed from baseball analytics. Specific numbers and real-world examples throughout.

  • The Cohort Curve That Predicts Customer Survival

    Episode 3 of Customer Retention with Fexingo digs into cohort analysis — the tool that separates guesswork from retention strategy. Lucas and Luna walk through a real example from a mid-market SaaS company that used cohort-based churn data to identify a dangerous drop-off in month three. They explain how to read a retention curve, why the shape of the curve matters more than the overall number, and what happens when you compare cohorts year-over-year instead of averaging them out. The episode includes a practical framework: the 'survival rate' at month twelve as a single metric that correlates with long-term customer lifetime value. No jargon, no theory for its own sake — just a clear, usable angle for anyone who manages a subscription business or wants to understand why some companies retain customers while others leak them.

  • How Subscription Businesses Measure Churn Differently

    Episode 2 of Customer Retention with Fexingo digs into the two most common ways subscription businesses calculate churn: logo churn vs. revenue churn. Lucas and Luna walk through why a company can lose 10 percent of its customers yet grow revenue — and vice versa. They use a real-world example from a fictional SaaS firm called CloudLaunch to show how a cohort of 1,000 customers behaves over twelve months, with an 8 percent monthly logo churn rate and a counterintuitive 2 percent revenue churn. They discuss how bundling, tiered pricing, and usage-based models create gaps between the two metrics, and why mature businesses eventually converge on net retention as the truer north star. If you've ever wondered why your favorite streaming service keeps raising prices while subscribers barely flinch, this episode explains the math behind the decision.

  • The 5 Percent Rule That Predicts Customer Retention

    In the premiere episode of Customer Retention with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna start with a startling number: a five percent improvement in retention can boost profits by 25 to 95 percent, according to a famous Bain & Company study. But that stat is often misused. Lucas walks through the actual math behind customer lifetime value, using a subscription box company — let's call it Curated Crates — to show how retention compounds over time. Luna questions whether the five percent rule applies to every industry and pushes for nuance: a SaaS business and a D2C brand have very different retention curves. They debate the real cost of churn, referencing Netflix's 2024 retention data and the 'hockey stick' effect of loyal customers. This episode sets the stage for what this show will be: specific numbers, real cases, and honest conversations about what keeps customers coming back — and what doesn't.

About Customer Retention with Fexingo: Loyalty, LTV, and Keeping Customers for the Long Run

From the publisher's feed

Customer retention is the quiet engine of durable businesses, yet most companies obsess over acquisition. In this show, Lucas and Luna examine why loyalty economics often beats the acquisition treadmill — and how to build systems that keep customers choosing you, year after year. They walk through real cohort data from subscription businesses, SaaS platforms, and retail loyalty programs, asking the hard questions: What does a healthy retention curve actually look like? When does a loyalty program become a liability? How do you calculate LTV with enough precision to make pricing, service, and churn-intervention decisions? Lucas brings the numbers — churn rates by vintage, net revenue retention benchmarks, and the unit economics behind 'free shipping' and 'points' — while Luna pushes on the human side: why do customers really leave, and what can a support team do about it before the cancel button is clicked? Together, they dissect case studies like Starbucks Rewards, Amazon Prime’s flywheel, and the subscription fatigue facing DTC brands. No vendor pitches, no generic advice — just the tension between short-term retention tactics and long-term customer value. By the end of each conversation, you'll be asking: Is my retention strategy actually creating loyalty, or just delaying the exit?
