UNDERSTAND THE WHY

Common Reasons Members Cancel (And How to Address Them)

Most cancellations aren't about youβ€”they're about timing, confusion, or circumstances

Payment Issues

Card expired, insufficient funds, or processing errors they don't even know about

βœ“ Auto-DM alerts them instantly to update payment method

πŸ˜•

Forgot They Subscribed

Haven't engaged recently and forgot about the value they're getting

βœ“ Auto-DM reminds them of benefits and recent community wins

πŸ’°

Temporary Budget Issues

Short-term financial pressure but would stay with flexibility

βœ“ Auto-DM offers pause option or special consideration

❓

Overwhelmed or Lost

Didn't know how to use features or find their place

MESSAGE EXAMPLES

Retention Message Ideas That Work

Example approaches you can use for your retention messages

πŸ“Ž

The Empathy Approach

Hey #name#, I totally understand if now's not the right time. Before you go though, would a pause help? I can freeze your account for 30 daysβ€”no charges, and you keep everything when you're ready to come back. Just reply YES.

The Value Reminder

Wait #name#! You're about to lose access to: βœ“ Your saved resources βœ“ The training dropping Tuesday βœ“ Your community connections Can we find a way to make this work?

πŸ“Ž

The Personal Touch

#name#, I noticed you were working on [specific goal]. You're so close! Would hate to see you lose momentum now. Can we hop on a quick call? I might have something that helps.

The Quick Survey

#name#, sorry to see you go. Mind sharing what we could've done better? 1) Too expensive 2) Not enough time 3) Not what I expected 4) Other Reply with a number and I'll see what I can do.

Retention Automation Questions

How fast do retention DMs send after cancellation?

Instantly when the cancellation or payment failure event occurs. This rapid response time is critical for catching members while they're still engaged and potentially reconsidering their decision.

What if members get annoyed by retention messages?

They don't! When someone cancels, they expect some acknowledgment. A helpful, empathetic message offering solutions is always appreciated. It shows you care.

Do retention messages work for annual plans too?

Yes! Annual retention is even more important. You can offer to switch them to monthly, provide special considerations, or add bonus value to keep them happy.

What happens if a member responds to the retention message?

You'll see their reply in your Skool DMs just like any other message. This opens up a real conversation where you can address their specific concerns personally.
