Q

Why do we use winback?

A

As a Member-first company, we want to give our Members the best opportunity to make the most of their Peloton Bike, Tread, and/or Digital membership. We strongly believe that if the Member has the time to find the right content, our products could be life-changing.

Q

What are the two goals of a Winback?

A
  1. To turn around the Member’s decision to cancel an order or return the Bike during the 30-day offer period by helping them discover perks such as home-trial, digital content, or an instructor they like.
  2. To turn around an existing Member’s decision to cancel their Membership.

Q

How do I avoid being pushy when doing a Winback?

A

With the goal of being a Member’s first company, the aim is to engage in a human conversation to help the Member. The Member should feel we are trying to help them.

Remember, the Member’s decision is always final. If they want to return, let them return.

Q

How should you attempt to steer the conversation when a Member has Buyer’s Remorse?

A

Focus on the benefit of the home-trial offer, if eligible.

Try to steer the conversation towards why the Member purchased the Peloton, what their fitness goals are, and how trying the Bike/Tread might help them to make a decision.

Example Response:

“Did you know you can try the Bike at home, risk-free, for up to 30 days? If you don’t like the Bike, we will collect it along with all the accessories and refund everything, including your membership charges.”

Q

What may be the reason a Member may have a concern about the Price?

A

The Member may not be aware of all the live and on-demand content the Peloton Library has to offer.

The Member may not understand the full value of the Peloton experience in order to justify the price point. Try helping the Member add users to their Peloton.

On the other hand, the Member may not be aware of our membership options. Help the Member download Digital app.

Q

How should you attempt to steer the conversation when a Member has a concern about Space?

A

Highlight the compact footprint. If they want to cancel a Home-Trial Bike order, remind them that if it doesn’t work out, we will refund everything.

Although the Member no longer has adequate space for the equipment, we should encourage the individual to remain a Peloton Member by leveraging the Digital content and supportive Peloton community.

Example Responses:

“Did you know the footprint is only 4 ft long x 2 ft wide?”
“Have you downloaded our Digital app to explore the Outdoor Running, Yoga, and Strength Training classes?”
“Did you know that Bike and Tread classes can be taken on Peloton Digital with most other home and gym bikes or treads?”

If a Member is eligible for a refund and contacting us to return for the second time after agreeing to keep the Bike/Tread on a previous call, it is not necessary to begin a winback conversation.

If a Member is not eligible for a refund and becomes highly escalated about our return policy, attempt to de-escalate before seeking assistance from leadership.

If a Member is calling on behalf of a deceased family member to cancel their membership.

If a Member mentions they have contacted a lawyer or CC’ed one.

If a Member submits a cancellation through the form on support.onepeloton.com.

Be sure to add notes to the ticket explaining why no winback was attempted. Use the macro Winback>Internal Note to guide you.

A

any winback to them.

46
Q

If a Member requests to cancel their membership or order due to not supporting their stance against Racism or any other stances, what are some guidelines we follow?

A

If a Member immediately requests to cancel, we do not offer any apologies in our response to having them leave. (i.e. “We’ll pass your feedback along”, “We’re sorry to see you go”) and we do not make any statements regarding changing our stance.

If a Member reaches out and threatens to cancel due to our public statements, we will use the approved reactive messaging provided in the Public Statements Against Racism article.

If the Member comes back from the response to request an official cancellation, please proceed forward with the cancellation.

47

It allows any agent who subsequently speaks to the Member to know their story.

It helps Peloton to understand what works well and what doesn’t when trying to help Members experience the full benefits of our products and services.

It helps Peloton make improvements by gathering information on how to best retain our Members.

51
Q

A

to all return and cancellation tickets, regardless of the outcome.

Please use Winback>Internal note to guide you.

52
Q

In addition to notes, you will need to accurately complete which of the corresponding fields in the Zendesk ticket to help capture the winback data?

A

Symptom, Diagnosis, and Resolution

53
Q

If a Member’s request is to cancel an order or membership, the Symptom field should be set to either

A

“Cancel Order” or “Cancel Membership.”

54
Q

After setting the Symptom, update the

A

Diagnosis field and select the winback option that most closely aligns with the cancel/return request.

55
Q

Update the Resolution field to reflect the

A

outcome of the Member’s request. If they decided to proceed with the cancel/return request, select the “Cancel/Refund” option.

If you are successful in your winback attempts and they decide to keep their order/membership, select the relevant resolution from the drop-down.

For example, a Member calls to return their recently delivered Bike due to constant issues connecting to their WiFi network. You are able to walk the Member through network troubleshooting, resolve the issue, and they decide to keep the Bike.

The field selections would then reflect the Member’s initial return request and that you were able to resolve the issue by network troubleshooting.

56
Q

Are agents judged on their winback success rate?

A

No. However, we will check to ensure agents are following the process in our quality reviews.
