Churn reduction happens on your product.
Yes. That’s true.
But, it is not a one time process.
It is an ongoing, retaining process.
There are 2 main places you have to refine for growth: product and the customer experience.
Product refinement
The major mistake lies in your product.
So, it is the first thing you should be focusing on.
Make sure your UI/UX removes friction, and has good usability.
To be simple: Make your app so easy to use that even a complete newbie will use your app like he is experienced with it.
That’s the power of UX.
Remove unnecessary features, which users don't seem to be using.
Also, improve performance by reducing load times, fixing bugs, and optimizing for responsiveness.
Most importantly, track every single thing possible.
Every single thing possible.
Customer experience refinement
The second thing you have to be seeing is the customer experience.
One of the best things you can do is to predict what your user would want, and present it to them.
Use behavioral trends to guide roadmap decisions.
And as already said, reduce the learning curve for your product.
Also, optimize efficiency for your power users by providing shortcuts, bulk actions and deeper integrations.
Continuously update knowledge resources by improving documentation, tooltips, and advanced guides.
And one thing, make sure that updates don’t disrupt existing workflows.
It is the biggest pain you can give to your users.
You have to make sure that you iterate based on real time data.
Here is a list of metrics you must track for your SaaS.

Most SaaS churn isn’t loud. It slips away quietly. Unspoken. Unseen. Until revenue starts bleeding and no one knows why.
There’s a way to see it before it happens.
