Before you go...

A short poem just for you, from us at ChurnWard.

The card expired, the payment failed

The retries fired but nothing prevailed

Nobody flagged it, nobody knew

They lost their subscription and so did you

You hit your target, smashed your goal

But churn's been digging quite the hole

For every dollar that you made

Another one slipped out unpaid

You signed up ten, but you lost five

You're growing hard just to survive

The new ones come, the old ones go

Your MRR's the same with nothing to show

Three years they paid without a hitch

Then plastic expired without a glitch

No email sent, no flag was raised

You lost a customer you could have saved

You checked the stats, the churn was high

You blamed the product with a sigh

But half the ones who disappeared

Never left for the reasons you feared

Your revenue is slipping away silently. We can stop it.
