Retaining and Winning Back Profitable Customers On-Site Training

This on-site training class is also available as Public Schedule Seminar.

Learn How to Better Manage Customer Acquisition, Retention and Winback to Increase Profits – All in Just Two Days.

Course Description/Agenda


Master specific and proven strategies for recovering the customers you’ve lost and keeping the valuable ones you already have.

How many customers have you lost this year? If you’re like most companies, 10% - 40% of your customers have walked away and will never return. When you lose a customer, you lose more than just revenue. You have to go out and find new customers to replace the lost ones – and that can be costly and time-consuming.

That’s why this workshop is so timely. In two days, you’ll learn the vital connection between customer loss, customer retention, and customer acquisition as well as how to retain your current customers … win back customers who’ve left … identify and stabilize at-risk customers … and give your most desirable customers all the reasons they need to stay.

Designed for both B-to-B and B-to-C companies of any size, this fast-paced workshop will arm you with an actionable plan for your organization to use right away.
