\u201cGlobal recession warning.\u201d \u201cSharp economic downturn.\u201d \u201cPolycrisis era.\u201d<\/p>\n

Today\u2019s economic headlines are anything but comforting.<\/p>\n

In times like these, when every dollar seems to matter more than ever, businesses have been forced to sit down and look at what\u2019s really making an impact on their revenue.<\/p>\n

And number one, of course, is customers.<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that it costs more to acquire a new customer than to retain one. 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. Every team is having the same debate: What parts of their tech stack can\u2019t they live without? And what can they afford to say goodbye to?<\/p>\n

Drift isn\u2019t immune to this reality. Our go-to-market teams spend every day thinking about what makes a customer stay and what makes them want to grow with our brand.<\/p>\n

So, what have we found helps us stay at the top of our customers\u2019 \u201cmust-have\u201d lists, no matter the state of the global economy?<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what this guide is all about.<\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"body","body_text":"
