Here’s how I unearthed the real reason this $800M business was losing customers —and it wasn't in the data.

In the world of data, more isn't always better. Sometimes, it takes more than numbers to uncover the truth.

Losing customers? You may think the data will give you all the answers.

In my role as a Strategic Data & AI Advisor, I saw firsthand how this mindset could lead us astray. A client was shedding customers left and right, and the numbers just weren’t providing any answers. 📉

Here's what happened—and how we solved it:

1️⃣ The Puzzle of Missing Pieces:
- Data showed us the what: a sharp decline in customer retention.
- What it didn’t show us was the why.

2️⃣ Digging Deeper:
- We knew we needed more than dashboards.
- The solution? Frontline Feedback and human insight.

3️⃣ The Frontlines Hold the Secrets:
- We sat down with the customer support team—the people in the trenches.
- Their insights were eye-opening.
- Competitors were methodically calling our customers, one by one, luring them away with better offers.

4️⃣ Connecting the Dots:
- Armed with this information, we developed counter-strategies.
- Improved offers. Better customer care tactics. Direct communication with at-risk clients.
- The outcome? A halt in the customer exodus.

Conclusion:
Incorporating Frontline knowledge with data analytics isn’t optional—it's essential.

Data can tell you what you need to fix.
People can tell you why it broke.
