The Misconception About Customer Satisfaction and Churn

Retention is often mistakenly thought to be entirely dependent on customer satisfaction. Data shows that there is no direct correlation between customer satisfaction scores and customer retention rates, contradicting the long-held belief that happy customers are loyal customers. Customers may express satisfaction but still choose to leave, while dissatisfied customers might continue renewing their contracts. This fundamental misunderstanding emphasizes the need to focus on measurable results instead of solely prioritizing customer satisfaction.
