The stealth churn problem · solved

Your best customers don't quit. They just stop reordering.

The Tuesday call you used to get? It happens less now. Buyers go digital, then quiet, then gone — and your reps find out from the revenue report, three months late. Retention Intelligence catches the slip while it's still recoverable: every account and SKU scored daily, the top ten in each rep's inbox by morning, every recovered dollar attributed back to the rep action that saved it.

The problem · stealth churn

Customers don't churn. They drift.

No cancellation email. No final order marked "last." Just slower cadence, smaller baskets, and a phone that stops ringing. Three forces are making it worse every quarter.

01

Buyers went digital. Reps lost line-of-sight.

Roughly 80% of B2B interactions now happen through digital channels. The unhappy customer used to call. Now they just switch — quietly.

02

Replacing them costs 5–7× more.

Acquisition cost in B2B distribution has climbed for a decade. Every lost account is harder, slower, and more expensive to replace than the last one.

03

"Our reps know their book" doesn't scale.

The top 50 accounts get watched. The next 1,950 don't. That's not a coverage problem — that's where the leakage actually lives.

3–5×

lift on B & C-tier SKUs

"Wouldn't my reps have caught that anyway?" Look where the recovery lands.

Most of it comes from B and C-tier SKUs — the items your top reps don't carry in their head. A-tier reorders almost everyone watches. The leakage that's worth catching is hiding three SKUs down.
The cost of waiting

A $250M distributor leaks $2.4M–$4.8M a year — and never sees it on a P&L line.

How it works

Detect. Rank. Act. Prove it.

A closed loop, running continuously. Every account scored every day. Every recovered dollar tied back to the action that saved it.

01

Detect

Pattern breaks scored daily on every account and every SKU — only when a customer is late for them.

Account × SKU · daily scoring
02

Rank

Every account ranked by Annual Revenue at Risk. The top ten land in each rep's morning digest. Full book always one click away.

ARR-weighted · daily re-ranking
03

Act

One click to call, push to CRM, snooze, or dismiss — from the digest, from order entry, or right inside the CRM record.

Digest · CRM · order entry
04

Refine

Every dismissal teaches the model what to ignore. Every save teaches it what to find next. Predictions sharpen materially after six months.

Rep-trained · self-improving
05

Prove

Recovered revenue tracked per customer, per SKU, per rep action. Audit trail to the line. Not a vendor estimate.

GP-weighted · closed-loop
Stage 01 · Detect — how the model works

Why threshold rules fail

A "two-week late" alert fires on every account that's even slightly behind. The queue becomes noise. Reps stop trusting it within a week. A quarterly orderer at day 75 lights up red — even though they're not actually late.

What we do instead

Survival analysis (the technique medical researchers use to model time-to-event outcomes) learns each customer's individual rhythm, per SKU. The question isn't "is this account late?" It's "is this account late for them?"

Why your existing stack can't fix this

Your CRM. Your BI. Your reps. Each one is missing something.

All three see part of the picture. None of them closes the loop from a slip detected to a dollar recovered.

Your CRM

Tracks what reps log. Misses what reps miss.

Threshold alerts treat every customer the same. The mid-tail accounts where the real leakage lives stay invisible until they're gone.

Your BI / reporting

Shows what happened. Not what's about to.

By the time a revenue drop shows in a dashboard, the customer has usually already moved. You're reporting on the funeral.

Your reps

Know the top 50. Can't watch 2,000.

The next 500–2,000 accounts get whatever time is left after the obvious fires. That's not negligence — it's math.

Retention Intelligence closes the gap — stealth churn detected, rep action taken, recovered dollar attributed.

Common questions

The questions buyers actually ask before they book.

How is this different from a churn-risk score in our CRM or BI tool?

CRM and BI tools use thresholds on aggregates — they treat every customer the same and operate at the account level. Retention Intelligence uses survival analysis per SKU: a quarterly orderer at day 75 doesn't look the same as a weekly orderer at day 75. The result: fewer false alarms and meaningful lift on the B/C-tier SKUs threshold rules miss entirely.

What if our customers' ordering patterns are very irregular?

Irregular ordering is exactly where the model excels. Each customer's cadence is learned per SKU from their own history — a quarterly customer 25 days into a normal lull doesn't trigger. False-alarm rates drop materially vs. threshold reports, which is why reps trust the queue enough to work it daily.

Do reps need to open a new app?

No. Most reps work from the daily email digest — top ten accounts, top overdue items, recommended action, ~10 minutes to clear. The full ranked book lives in-app for anyone who wants to dig deeper. CSRs use the Outlook plugin. Order-entry staff see it inline. E-commerce surfaces it in the basket.

How is the ARR at risk score calculated?

SKU-level predictions roll up to account-level ARR at risk, weighted by historical revenue. Three-tier risk plus a 0–100 confidence score on every prediction. Methodology is documented and available on request — defensible to leadership, not a black box.

How do you handle "they would have ordered anyway"?

Every attributed figure already carries a 77.5% conservative haircut — A-tier SKUs reps would likely have caught are removed first, plus 50% off the remainder. The 3–5× lift concentrated on B and C-tier SKUs — items reps demonstrably weren't tracking — is the clearest proof the recovery is real. A 60-day holdout test is available for customers who want hard evidence.

How quickly does it become useful?

Six-week ramp: data integration (weeks 1–2), agents deployed (weeks 3–4), rep enablement (weeks 5–6). Recovery Dashboard live by week 7 with measurable ROI from that point. Predictions sharpen materially after six months of regular use.

What if rep adoption is uneven?

It will be — that's expected, and the data makes it visible for coaching. In the reference deployment, the top 3 reps drove 40% of attributed revenue. If your bottom cohort performed at half the rate of the top adopter, that's typically another $400K–$600K in recovered revenue without a single new account.

Do we need to change our CRM or ERP?

No. Retention Intelligence sits alongside your existing systems — data flows from your ERP, actions push to your CRM (Salesforce, HubSpot, Dynamics 365, NetSuite, and others). No double entry, no data silos. Reps stay in the tools they already use.
