Hormozi Retention System
Core Principle
"It is five to twenty-five times more expensive to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one, and increasing retention by just 5% can increase profits by 25% to 95%." THE POINT OF CANCELLATION: "Churn occurs when the perceived value of the product drops below the price paid." Value > Price = customer stays. Value < Price = customer cancels. THE INVERSION METHOD: Ask "What would make my customers leave?" Answers: ignoring them, breaking promises, miscommunicating, making the product hard to use. Then do the exact opposite: talk to them, keep promises, make value consumption easy.
