In times when a growth-at-all-costs mentality, companies funneled as much money as possible into customer acquisition. Retention was always important, but not the primary focus.

But now, as companies get more cautious with their capital, there's a brighter spotlight on customer success and retention. Great customer retention is key to efficient, sustainable growth.

In this episode of The Role Forward, Nick Tarnoff, the VP of Finance at SupportLogic, gets into the importance of customer retention and how to improve it. Nick and our host Joe Michalowski discuss the metrics for retention analysis and some of the challenges with retention.
