Q

Customer churn rate

A

normal rate at which customers leave
(if 10% customers leave every month then we need to get 10% new customers just for revenues to stay the same)

A customer retention problem happens when that 10% rate increases and more than 10% of customers leave per month - revenue declines)

A customer acquisition problem happens when the rate that customers leave didn’t increase (stays 10%) and we CAN’T find new customers (10% new customers) to make up for that loss of 10%
