What is Customer Churn?

Definition

The rate at which customers stop using a service, typically expressed as a percentage of total customers lost over a period.

Understanding Customer Churn

Churn can be voluntary (customer cancels) or involuntary (failed payments). Reducing churn is often more cost-effective than acquiring new customers.

Why It Matters for Waste Haulers

High churn undermines growth. Understanding why customers leave enables targeted retention efforts.
