In fact, a company that decreases their churn rate by just 5% can increase their profitability by anywhere between 25%-75%<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n But that\u2019s easier said than done.<\/p>\n When faced with economic uncertainty, your customers are also putting their tech stacks under a microscope.

Plus, you\u2019ll receive a notification when the customer starts watching the video, so you can respond in real time. And if you\u2019re not around or if the customer wants to talk more, they can easily book a meeting in chat for a time that is most convenient for them.<\/p>\n Need some inspiration?

A quick way to answer your customers\u2019 questions is to send them a video going over the solution in real time.<\/p>\n This saves you from the constant back-and-forth of scheduling a meeting (which might not even happen for a day or two), and it lets your customer resolve their problem when it\u2019s most convenient for them.<\/p>\n Customer teams aren\u2019t immune from getting ghosted. If the responses to your emails seem to be getting fewer and fewer, try including a video with your message. Address the topic of the email in your video, then prompt your customer to book a meeting to discuss the topic further.<\/p>\n Even if your customer doesn\u2019t book a meeting or reply to your email, with Drift Video, you\u2019ll be able to see who has watched your video and exactly how much of it they watched.

\n
\n<\/strong>When your customers hit a big milestone with you, send them a quick video to congratulate them. You can send this video to the most active user of your product, but you might also want to send it to their bosses and executives. These people may not be in the weeds with your product as much, but they do sign the checks.
\n<\/li>\n
\nA personalized video can be a great way to broaden your connections within an account and make friends in higher places. One of our favorite plays is to send a video via LinkedIn Messaging to our customers\u2019 executives.<\/p>\n
\nThrough a video, you can directly explain who you are and why you\u2019re reaching out. That way, you allow your customers to put a face to your name \u2014 while showing how much time and effort you put into building relationships with each individual customer.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n
\nPro Tip:<\/strong> Create a database of videos where you answer frequently asked questions and address logical next steps. This way, when a customer comes to you with one of those questions, you can send them an answer in less than a minute.<\/li>\nDrift Meetings<\/h3>\n
