- SpliiitFreelance Chief Product OfficerSOFTWARE PUBLISHINGSeptember 2025 - September 2025Bordeaux, FranceFreelance Chief Product Officer (CPO) | Retention | Churn | NRR | Growth | Onboarding and User Flow | Email Management | Acquisition | Product-Led Growth (PLG)Net monthly churn (retention) decreased **from 13.8% to 9% in 3 months**, a **35% reduction**, without touching the acquisition budget.Intervention within days.A retention mission conducted on six product levers to understand attrition causes, improve activation, and strengthen perceived value.A net monthly churn of 13.8%, with poorly documented causes.At the start, net monthly churn was 13.8%. Departures were measured, but their real causes remained unclear: some were due to user choice, others to payment failures, and still others to a perceived value that was too low in the early stages of use.Understanding where, when, and why accounts drop off.The investigation focused on actual user journeys rather than assumptions: analysis of cohorts and drop-off points, separation of voluntary and involuntary churn, review of the first billing cycle, and qualification of departures through exit surveys.Each finding guided a concrete action lever.The objective was not to produce a report, but to link each identified cause to a measurable correction, carried out in parallel on six fronts.Six fronts worked on in parallel, from day one to recovery.
