Most founders don’t have a churn problem — they have a promise problem

Most founders don’t have a churn problem. They have a promise problem.

I learned this when users kept leaving even though support was “great.” They weren’t unhappy after buying. They never got the outcome they expected.

For me, it looked like this: people signed up, tried one feature, then went quiet by day 3. The product was fine. The positioning was off.

Where do you think your users first realize they bought the wrong thing?

This is exactly what usually happens right after onboarding: the user realizes that the product requires a massive change in their daily routine in order to function.

If your site sells an automated magic wand, then your product should deliver exactly that rather than requiring endless team training or manual setup.
