Customer Retention Spider Diagram

A customer retention spider diagram gives a customer success team one place to collect the factors that keep customers engaged. The centre names the goal, while the outside branches cover onboarding, ongoing value, support, feedback and risk signals. Onboarding focuses on the first experience, such as a setup checklist or welcome call. Ongoing value and support capture the help customers need after they begin using a service. Feedback produces evidence, and the risk branch names signs that deserve attention. The radial structure is useful for a workshop because contributors can add ideas to different branches at the same time before the team chooses next actions.
