Built by operators, for operators

Stop losing the customers you already won.

AI watches every silent signal — they haven't visited in 90 days, their card got declined, they downgraded their service, support ticket spiked — and re-engages each one with a personal message in your voice. Half come back. The other half tell you why they left.

The Problem

Your best customers quietly slip away.
Nobody notices until the year-end report.

Every silent customer is a sale gone cold. Here's what passive churn actually costs.

  • They don't tell you they're leaving. Most customers never complain. They just stop coming. By the time you notice, they've found someone else.
  • You can't watch every signal. Last visit. Payment frequency. Support ticket spike. Visit interval lengthening. Manual tracking is impossible.
  • Generic 'we miss you' emails feel hollow. Mass email blasts get 1.8% open. Personal SMS in your voice gets 60%+.
  • By 90 days silent, the customer is gone. Re-engagement window for service businesses is 30–60 days. Past that, you're competing with their new provider.
  • Loyalty programs are stale. Punch cards and points programs aren't retention — they're discount programs. Real retention is conversation.
  • You can't measure what passive churn costs. Without monthly cohort tracking, churn feels invisible. It's the biggest leak in most SMBs.
How It Works

Four steps to retain customers automatically.

Connect your CRM, POS, or booking tool. AI watches signals, picks moments, sends personal messages — forever.

Most clinics see 50%+ response rate on win-back messages within 14 days.

Step 2 2

Set retention triggers

Days silent, payment hiccups, downgrade signals, support ticket spikes. Defaults work, customize per business.

Step 3 3

AI sends personal messages

"Sarah was asking about you" beats "we miss you." Personal-tone, in your voice, sent at the right moment.

Step 4 4

You see the wins

Dashboard shows who came back, who replied with feedback, who confirmed they left for a competitor (and why).

Features

Built for the way you actually work.

Set the rules once. The product runs forever.

  • Multi-signal watcher. Last visit, payment, ticket spike, downgrade, no-show pattern — all watched continuously.
  • Personal-tone messages. "Sarah was asking about you" not "We miss you, valued customer!" Real voice, real moments.
  • Smart timing. AI picks the moment most likely to convert — not Sunday at 6 PM when they're with family.
  • Win-back offers (optional). Discount, free upgrade, complimentary service — only when customer's signal warrants it. Not blanket discounts.
  • Exit-interview AI. If they reply 'sorry, going elsewhere,' AI gently asks why. You learn what's costing you customers.
  • Cohort retention dashboard. See your true monthly retention, by service, by location, by tenure. The metric you've been guessing at.

The Cost of Inaction

What passive churn actually costs a small business.

Every percentage industry data, not our marketing.

cheaper to keep vs acquire

It costs 5× more to acquire a new customer than retain an existing one. Every saved customer is 5 ad dollars unspent.

FAQ

Every question we get before signup.

The honest answers — including the ones we wish you wouldn't ask.

Will customers feel stalked?

No. We never reference internal data ('I see you haven't paid in 60 days') — only what a friend would notice ('Sarah was asking about you'). Customers feel cared-about, not surveilled.

What if a customer doesn't want to be contacted?

Every message has a one-tap opt-out. We never re-contact opted-out customers. Compliance with TCPA, CAN-SPAM, and GDPR is built in.

How do you measure retention impact?

Cohort comparison: customers acquired in month X who are still active in month X+12, before vs after CustomerRetentionAI. Most clinics see 8–15 percentage points of retention improvement in the first 90 days.

Does it integrate with my POS / CRM?

Yes — 20+ tools supported. Square, Mindbody, Toast, Vagaro, ShopKeep, Booksy, JaneApp, HubSpot, Salesforce, Pipedrive, and more.

What about loyalty programs I already have?

We complement, don't replace. If you have a punch card or points system, AI factors in their loyalty status when crafting messages and offers.

Can I cancel? Do you have contracts?

Cancel any time from your dashboard. No contracts, no setup fees, no hidden charges. You keep the cohort dashboard data forever.

Does it work in languages other than English?

Yes — 95+ languages, day one. AI matches the customer's preferred language from your CRM, in your business voice.

How is this different from Klaviyo or Mailchimp?

Those are mass email tools. CustomerRetentionAI is a per-customer signal-watcher that sends personal SMS at the right moment. Different category. Klaviyo blasts; we whisper.

Loyalty isn't earned with discounts. It's earned with attention.

Every silent customer is a customer your competitor is winning.
Stop letting that happen.
