Ihr Handeln in dieser Zeit kann sich direkt auf den langfristigen Erfolg Ihres Online-Gesch\u00e4fts auswirken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In diesem Beitrag werden wir einige bew\u00e4hrte Praktiken er\u00f6rtern, damit Sie sicherstellen k\u00f6nnen, dass Sie Ihre Stornierungen mit Stil und Anmut behandeln!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Don\u2019t Take It Personally<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Der erste und wahrscheinlich wichtigste Schritt im Umgang mit einer K\u00fcndigungsanfrage besteht darin, sich diese nicht zu Herzen zu nehmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your customer did not cancel their membership subscription just to hurt your feelings and no, and this does not mean that they don\u2019t like you as a person. Every customer has their reasons for not wanting to continue their membership, so the last thing you need to do is stress yourself over every possible reason for them canceling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Feedback einholen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rather than worrying yourself sick about why your member canceled, it\u2019s a good idea to ask for feedback so you can better understand their departure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/de\/how-to-conduct-a-survey-of-your-membership-sites-users-in-5-steps\/\">Erstellung eines Briefings, einer einfachen Umfrage<\/a> kann Ihnen dabei helfen, zu erkennen, wo Ihre Mitgliederseite gut l\u00e4uft und wo sie noch etwas Arbeit gebrauchen k\u00f6nnte. Das Sammeln von Feedback von Kunden, die Sie verlassen oder die in diese Richtung gehen, kann Ihnen helfen, eine Strategie zu entwickeln, um entweder <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/de\/ways-to-win-back-lapsed-members\/\">verfallene Mitglieder zur\u00fcckholen<\/a> oder die Mitglieder im Abonnement zu halten.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Don\u2019t Make Canceling Difficult<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ein weiterer gro\u00dfer Fehler, den manche Betreiber von Mitgliedschaftsseiten machen, ist, dass sie es ihren Mitgliedern schwer machen, ihre Mitgliedschaft zu k\u00fcndigen. Diese Praxis ist nicht nur unfair gegen\u00fcber den Kunden, sondern l\u00e4sst Ihr Online-Unternehmen auch unglaubw\u00fcrdig erscheinen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As much as you may hate to do it, make the process to cancel straightforward. Ensure that your members can easily find the contact information for customer service and don\u2019t force your customers to wait forever to hear back from someone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Nachbereitung<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Many membership site owners think that, once a member cancels, that\u2019s it. This isn\u2019t true! You still have a chance to reach out to that customer, even after they have withdrawn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Verwenden Sie Ihr\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener sponsored\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/go\/activecampaign\/\">E-Mail-Marketing<\/a>\u00a0software to retarget the customers who have canceled and reach out to them. Let them know that they were valued customers, that you would love to have them back, and to please contact your business for any questions or assistance about your product or service. Also, don\u2019t be afraid to offer an incentive to come back. You could offer a renewal discount to their subscription or an online course, provide free content, or <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/de\/powerful-ways-to-gather-customer-feedback-on-your-membership-site\/\">Bitte um mehr Feedback<\/a>, in case they didn\u2019t leave any the first time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Behalten Sie Ihre W\u00fcrde<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sie m\u00f6chten, dass jeden Tag Kunden auf Ihre Website kommen, aber es wird Zeiten geben, in denen die Kunden mit Ihrem Angebot nicht zufrieden sind und Sie verlassen wollen. Lassen Sie niemals zu, dass dieser Umstand Sie oder Ihre Mitarbeiter dazu bringt, aus Verzweiflung schlechte Entscheidungen zu treffen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Einige Kunden drohen damit, eine<a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/de\/ways-to-handle-positive-and-negative-feedback-about-your-membership-site\/\"> schlechte Kritik online<\/a> oder schlichtweg unh\u00f6flich sein. Es ist jedoch immer wichtig, dass Sie den richtigen Weg einschlagen und selbst die unzufriedensten Kunden mit Respekt behandeln. So verhindern Sie, dass die Situation eskaliert, und bewahren die Professionalit\u00e4t, die Sie f\u00fcr Ihr Unternehmen anstreben. Dr\u00e4ngen Sie einen Kunden niemals zum Gehen, aber bitten Sie ihn auch nicht, zu bleiben. Legen Sie ihm die Fakten dar, lassen Sie ihn eine Entscheidung treffen, und respektieren Sie diese, egal wie unzufrieden der Kunde ist oder wie unvern\u00fcnftig seine Gr\u00fcnde f\u00fcr die Abreise sind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Abschlie\u00dfende \u00dcberlegungen<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let\u2019s face it \u2013 membership cancelations are no fun. However,  it\u2019s an unavoidable part of the business and perfectly natural \u2013 it happens to the best of us! When you encounter this situation in your membership business, be sure to remember that it is always better to handle these situations professionally, promptly, and positively. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Wie gehen Sie mit K\u00fcndigungsanfragen auf Ihrer Mitgliederseite um?<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p> Wenn Ihnen dieser Beitrag gefallen hat, dann folgen Sie bitte MemberPress auf\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/memberpress\">Facebook<\/a>\u00a0f\u00fcr weitere gro\u00dfartige Inhalte.
