Retention: keeping clients and proving your ROI, fixed in 30 days
Find the at-risk clients, prove the result in their numbers every month without being asked, and turn the best project into a retainer.
The problem
Clients leave when they cannot see the result, and reporting eats a day a month.
- “How are you all handling client reporting without burning half a day every month?” source
What agencies already pay for
- AgencyAnalytics: client reporting dashboards; $20 per client per month on annual billing. (source)
The gap
Dashboards show numbers. They do not tell the client what the work did for their revenue, and they do not turn wins into proof you can sell with.
The 30 days
- Week 1
List every client by margin and risk; call the top three at-risk clients this week.
- Week 2
Ship a monthly report that proves the result in the client's numbers, sent without being asked.
- Week 3
Turn your best project relationship into a retainer conversation anchored to an ongoing outcome.
- Week 4
Review churn drivers from the at-risk calls and fix the one delivery gap they had in common.
The numbers to track
- At-risk clients: Clients flagged on your margin-and-risk list, week 1 vs week 4.
- Monthly reports sent unasked: Count per month.
- Projects converted to retainers: Count per quarter.
