Customer Churn and Burn? We think not.

MARKETING: ART OR SCIENCE?

The process of capturing marketing data should strive to minimize hypothesis and confirmation bias. This has proven to be a significant challenge for many marketers. Data that guides marketing toward success should remain agnostic and independent. If the goal is to confirm preconceived notions rather than genuinely understand opinions, there's little value in collecting such data. Therefore, marketers must objectively answer whether their aim is to influence opinions or gain insight before designing and implementing any data capture processes.

The rise of an indifferent customer segment can severely impair a business's return on investment. Attempts to counter the void left by indifference with steep discounts and sales might not yield a successful recovery.

Seth Godin: What to Count

So many choices. So many sorts of metrics, critics and measures.

Perhaps it makes sense to count things where the counting tells us how to do better next time.

And to count things that let us know how much risk we can take next time.

Or to calibrate our judgment about the market.

But it makes no sense at all to count things over which we have no control, and which teach us nothing about the future.

Counting our luck (good or bad) doesn’t make us luckier.
