Hard
ScenarioChurn save

An existing customer signaling they want out — low usage, frustrated, maybe already shopping. Pure defense, no expansion upside to lean on.

Performance

Defensive start, partial recovery

A frustrated customer half out the door. Alex opened defensive and nearly lost her, then recovered by owning the failure and diagnosing the real cause. That bought a working session, not yet a save.

Strengths
  • Owned the failure once challenged
  • Diagnosed the real root cause
Focus areas
  • Lead with ownership, not explanation
  • Don't defend before the customer feels heard
  • Tie the fix to a measurable 30-day proof point
