How Is the Client Retention & Trial Success Score Calculated and Why Is It Important?

How the CD client retention and trial success score is calculated.

Updated this week

Maintaining client retention is a critical responsibility in your role, with a primary focus on ensuring the satisfaction and happiness of your assigned clients.

  • Losing one or even two clients within a 90-day period is cause for concern and requires immediate attention to address potential issues.

  • If three clients are lost within 90 days, it will trigger a formal performance notice. A fourth client lost in the same period may result in the immediate termination of our collaboration.

  • Vigilance and proactive client engagement are essential to uphold retention standards and ensure success.

Score Calculation

The Retention Rate is the inverse of the churn rate; the churn rate is the percentage of active client accounts ( = clients that passed the trial) that cancelled before they reached a 20 months lifetime.

  • Retention rate = 1 - (Cancelled accounts with lifetime of less than 20 months βž— All Active Client Accounts)

The weight of this score is x4.

Why do we only count clients with a lifetime of less than 20 months?

Although we would like to, we can't expect clients to stay forever unfortunately. For this reason, a 5% client churn rate is acceptable, meaning that if a clients cancels after 20 months, then that is won't impact your score.

Trial Success Rate = 1 - (All Cancelled Trials βž— All Trials That Started)

Client Retention & Trial Success Score = Average (Retention score, all time churn rate, 2x 90 day churn rate, all time trial success rate, 2x 90 day trial success rate)

  • This means that not losing any accounts (trials and active clients) within 90 days is 4 parts of this score and thus has much more importance than the overall trial success or retention rate.
