Illustrative workflow — not a customer result
A member cancels.
Map the evidence and review path.
Churn flagged, lifetime value calculated, win-back offer drafted, sessions paused, and review monitoring activated — from one cancellation click. 7 products activate. 8 agents fire. 1 approval gate triggers — all before the member even checks their email.

Seven products. One retention pipeline.
Each step feeds the next. No manual handoffs. No information lost between systems.
Pulls David's full membership history — $2,400 annual value, 14 months tenure, visit frequency dropped from 3.2 to 0.8 per week over the last 60 days. Classifies as a price-sensitive churner with a 62% win-back probability based on similar profiles. Flags that cancellation reason ("too expensive, not coming enough") maps to a downgrade-responsive segment.
Runs the financial model — win-back cost at $200 versus new member acquisition at $340. Recommends a tier downgrade to Silver over a blanket discount, preserving margin while addressing the price objection. Projects 71% retention probability with Silver offer versus 23% with no intervention.
Drafts a personalized win-back email highlighting the Silver tier — 40% less than Gold, still includes David's favorite Tuesday evening spin class and weekend yoga. Tone is empathetic, not salesy. Includes a one-click downgrade link and a "let's talk" option for the front desk.
Pauses the cancellation for 72 hours — keeps David's existing class reservations active, preserves his locker assignment, and flags his three most-attended classes (Tuesday spin, Saturday yoga, Thursday HIIT) so the front desk has talking points if he walks in.
Analyzes churn patterns across the entire membership base — identifies that Gold-tier members in months 12-18 have a 34% cancellation rate, predominantly citing price. Surfaces that studios offering mid-tier options retain 2.1x more members in this cohort. Feeds pricing signal to management.
Sets a 30-day monitoring window across Google Reviews, Yelp, and ClassPass for David's name or membership-related keywords. If a negative review appears, the system alerts management immediately with a drafted response that acknowledges the concern and references the win-back offer.
Aggregates every action into a retention dashboard — David's case status, win-back email delivery and open tracking, cohort churn analysis, revenue impact projections, and a live feed of similar at-risk members. Ownership sees the full picture in one screen.
