PUTTING THE CUSTOMER CHURN PREDICTIONS IN USE At this stage, the main goal is to give the company a targeted set of actions to improve customer retention. Once an accurate machine learning model has been trained, all of the past and present customers will be run through the predictive model. This could give three different results. Table below shows sample data set with prediction results and actions a company should take on each particular customer: If the prediction matches the actual status of the customer, then no action is necessary. However, if an active customer is likely to be a churned customer, this will imply defining the customer as being at-risk of churning. Alternatively, if a customer is currently inactive (meaning that they previously churned) but the prediction is that they will become an active customer, this indicates that they are a good target to attempt to reinstate business. It is also useful to build a Customer Churn dashboard that enhances reporting by providing account managers with a list of clients to target with retention efforts, as well as identifying the best prospects to try and win back. These crucial insights maximize customer preservation and accurately pinpoint marketing efforts. 03
