Instead of “Hire for attitude, not aptitude” or “Hire for personality, train for skills”, remind yourself when you recruit to Select for passion, not past performance. You hire an employee.

Churn starts within the first 30 days of customers purchasing a product. A lot of it comes down to the first impression customers get through the onboarding process. A poor experience can result in losing current and future customers, and unnecessary overhead. It’s important to know what a poor onboarding experience looks like, the associated hidden costs, and how to build a top-tier onboarding experience for your customers so you can avoid losing hard-earned revenue.

You know when it happens and can get ahead of it. But it’s bad news because it’s risky.” An unmanaged key contact change has a 51% chance of churn in 12 months, according to research from Sturdy , a customer intelligence platform.
