Learn to Reduce Member Churn by Up To 25%

Use your organization’s member data to predict and reduce member churn.

March 29th, 2023 - May 3, 2023
Your members are already telling you whether or not they’re planning to renew their membership. And if they’re not, they’ve already told you what could change their decision.

The only problem? They’re not saying it to your face.

So how do you catch on before it’s too late? You’re going to have to turn to your membership data to find out.

How Other
Assocation Pros
Improved Member Retention

I'm going to practice these techniques using the example data, as well as our own organizational data. I would like to develop an engagement model that we can use specifically to do outreach to unengaged and first-year members to connect them with relevant member benefits.

I see it having an impact on the way I decide how and when to engage members especially when looking at retention/renewal season.

We are very concentrated on member retention and using data to do so. I am going to be pulling a lot of reports once our data is cleaner to really drill down into engagement and renewals and creating models and campaigns to reduce our churn.

How much does the bootcamp cost?

Registration for this bootcamp is $1,497 at the discounted Sidecar Member price or $1,797 for non-members.

Thomas Altman

Thomas Altman is a data scientist, association expert and entrepreneur. His first introduction to the world of associations was a decade ago when he took a job implementing AMS solutions right out of graduate school. With a degree in applied statistics and machine learning, he immediately saw a gap in what associations were doing with data and what was possible. He saw data either go unused or used to create flashy dashboards that had no impact on helping associations deliver on their missions. Thomas quickly realized that analytics that don't lead to measurable action are, at best, entertainment and, at worst, a waste of resources. He's dedicated his career to changing that and helping associations create data-driven action plans so they can know what needs to be done and know that it's working.
