What the “Customer Churn Analysis” survey measures

This survey measures current usage status, specific reasons for churn (price, quality, support, usability, competitors), what motivates loyal customers to stay, and future retention likelihood through an NPS®-style scale. It also captures open-ended feedback on what could win back lapsed customers and what improvements customers want to see, giving you both quantitative trends and qualitative context behind the numbers.

Who the “Customer Churn Analysis” template is for

This template is built for retention managers, customer success teams, product marketers, and business owners who want to reduce customer loss and understand the real reasons behind it. It works well for subscription-based businesses, SaaS companies, and any brand with a recurring customer relationship where churn directly affects revenue.

How to adapt the template to your needs

You can adjust the churn reasons list to reflect issues specific to your industry, such as delivery delays for e-commerce or feature gaps for software. Add branching logic so that customers who selected 'No, I stopped using it' get routed to churn-specific questions, while active customers see retention and satisfaction questions instead. You can also remove the open-text questions if you need a faster survey, or add a question about which competitor customers switched to for deeper competitive insight.
