For recurring revenue businesses, churn is one of the hottest topics–and for good reason. For subscription businesses, success is largely defined by the number of subscribers and how long these subscriber relationships last–in other words, are your subscribers churning at a high rate? Understanding why and when subscribers churn can make or break your subscription plans, and to fight churn effectively, there are several factors you need to analyze. It’s a systematic approach that requires subscriber data and the right tools to get to the bottom line.

If you’ve never conducted a cohort analysis, this worksheet will change that. Simply put, a cohort analysis is an incredibly useful way to analyze churn as it helps you uncover insights such as when subscribers are churning in their lifecycle. If done correctly, a cohort analysis allows you to identify your different segments of audiences and regularly test different ways to manage churn within each audience. From there, you can efficiently evaluate churn impact on each cohort and improve your churn management plan by reallocating your resources more strategically throughout the subscriber lifecycle.
