Circumstantial Churn — The Ones You Can’t Control

THE LEAN LESSON
10–20% of your churn?
Totally out of your hands.
These are Circumstantial Churners.
They left because:
Their company changed strategy
They no longer need your solution
Their team or budget got cut
You didn’t fail.
But you can still stay smart.
Fix it (kind of):
Make offboarding seamless
Ask for referrals or testimonials
Tag and segment them for reactivation campaigns later
Churn isn’t always personal.
But it’s always an opportunity to learn.
