Let\u2019s talk about ways that you can build a retention focus into every stage of the customer journey. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"1-lock-in-your-onboarding\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"1_Lock_in_Your_Onboarding\"><\/span>1. Lock in Your Onboarding<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>From the moment a new student signs up, you should be thinking about that relationship long-term. And a strong onboarding sequence is a fantastic way to lay the foundation for a healthy connection. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Think of it this way: the hardest customers to hold onto long-term will be the ones that consistently struggle to understand the value that you\u2019re offering. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The thing about great onboarding is that it gets new students comfortable with your course, so they know what options and tools are available and can use each element to its full potential. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br>Educated users are better able to bend the service to fit their needs. They know how to work through minor issues without stopping point blank (or contacting you for help). There\u2019s less friction involved in every action they take. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Users that have taken the time to get to know a particular service or platform well are also less likely to switch and learn an entirely new tool (or start another class with an entirely new instructor).<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the user\u2019s side, proper onboarding gives them a much more seamless experience of your course and they\u2019ll likely get much more out of it.<br>Basically: educating your users is a win-win situation, as well as the first step to building a long-term connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So spend time on your onboarding, and continually reevaluate how it\u2019s working. Consider putting together a quick email sequence that welcomes them to the class, lays out the different resources available, and checks in after the first week or two to see if they have questions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More on that later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"2-focus-on-quick-wins\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Focus_on_Quick_Wins\"><\/span>2. Focus on Quick Wins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to get caught up in the big problems, the life-or-death-of-a-subscription kinda issues. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After all, students join membership courses because they\u2019re looking to make a big-picture change in their lives- learning to play an instrument, or preparing for a career switch, or mastering a new language. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to become so focused on our broader learning goals that we get tunnel vision and miss the myriad smaller elements that make up real understanding of a topic, process, or skill.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thing is, miniscule hurdles in the learning process can add up and grind the whole train to a halt. On the other hand, <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.churnbuster.io\/founders-dont-understand-churn\/\">tiny successes can snowball<\/a> into bigger and bigger steps forward. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Learning something new can be tough emotionally, and sometimes we just need a quick \u201cwin\u201d to show that we\u2019re capable of growing. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re already breaking down big topics into lesson plans, so think about micro lessons and small steps that you can help your students to take. Remember: these successes are meaningful, and they prove that you can help your students to grow in the bigger ways as well. Make sure you\u2019re communicating those wins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"3-automate-check-ins\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Automate_Check-ins\"><\/span>3. Automate Check-ins<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.churnbuster.io\/keep-customers-churning-out-one-tactic\/\">Engaging your students<\/a> alongside their lessons is key to retaining them long-term. After all, there are a ton of free resources online for learning just about any skill or digging into almost any topic. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A teacher with a personal touch and investment in their student\u2019s learning is one of the key selling points for membership courses. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the number of students you serve, you may be able to set reminders for yourself for these check-ins. Thing is, it can get overwhelming trying to reach out individually and on-masse. So think about automating the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"613\" height=\"401\" src=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Automated-checkin.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18124\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Automated-checkin.png 613w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Automated-checkin-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Automated-checkin-260x170.png 260w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Automated-checkin-156x102.png 156w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 613px) 100vw, 613px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Automated messaging might sound robotic, but it doesn\u2019t have to be. Well-crafted emails <a href=\"https:\/\/postmarkapp.com\/blog\/what-not-to-do-when-transactional-emails-become-too-robotic\">written in your voice<\/a> can be a great tool for helping students to speak up when they have concerns and share their successes when things are going well. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s a way to open up conversation without overloading yourself. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look at your initial onboarding emails and ask yourself where there might be friction points in their journey through the class. The aftermath of an assessment, for example, can be a time when students question whether a course is worth their time and effort. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After a month, your students will probably be receiving their first bill. This is a great time to reach out and make them valued and invested in. Generally, think of times where your students might need an extra helping hand or a reminder of how far they\u2019ve already come. <br>Hot tip: Don\u2019t stop at check-ins. Email automation is a great way to proactively interact with your customers. Here are more examples of<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.churnbuster.io\/9-retention-emails-to-reduce-churn\/\"> emails you could use<\/a> to delight and engage customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"4-celebrate-student-successes\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Celebrate_Student_Successes\"><\/span>4. Celebrate Student Successes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This will look really different depending on the kind of courses you\u2019re offering and your particular student base. Regardless, there are tons of ways to show off the success of your students (past and present)<strong><em> if you open up lines of dialogue<\/em><\/strong>. <br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider including a question in your automated check-in messages along the lines of \u201cDo you have any successes you\u2019d like to share?\u201d You can take the initiative here and (with student permission) share their responses yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"676\" src=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Customer-Highlight-1024x676.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18126\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Customer-Highlight-1024x676.png 1024w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Customer-Highlight-300x198.png 300w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Customer-Highlight-768x507.png 768w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Customer-Highlight-257x170.png 257w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Customer-Highlight-840x555.png 840w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Customer-Highlight-1035x684.png 1035w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Customer-Highlight-700x462.png 700w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Customer-Highlight-156x103.png 156w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Customer-Highlight.png 1037w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Sharing the success stories of your past students isn\u2019t just a great marketing technique. It\u2019s also a way of reminding your existing students where they\u2019re headed and that the challenge is worth it.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Encouraging your students to see themselves as part of a broader community is huge here, because it shapes the way they view this kind of interaction. <br><br>You want them to feel less like they are sharing with a group of faceless strangers and more like they have like-minded peers on their side. With that in mind:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-build-a-community\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Build_a_Community\"><\/span>5. Build a Community<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Most people learn best as part of a community. Chances are, your students will benefit from open discussion, and learning online shouldn\u2019t exclude them from the opportunity to learn together. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider creating a Facebook group (or some other space) and posting regular questions and resources for further exploration of the topics you cover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s an example from <a href=\"https:\/\/copyhackers.com\/\">Copy Hackers<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"669\" src=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Copy-hackers-FB-Group-1024x669.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18127\" srcset=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Copy-hackers-FB-Group-1024x669.png 1024w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Copy-hackers-FB-Group-300x196.png 300w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Copy-hackers-FB-Group-768x501.png 768w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Copy-hackers-FB-Group-260x170.png 260w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Copy-hackers-FB-Group-840x549.png 840w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Copy-hackers-FB-Group-1048x684.png 1048w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Copy-hackers-FB-Group-700x457.png 700w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Copy-hackers-FB-Group-156x102.png 156w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Copy-hackers-FB-Group-1080x705.png 1080w, https:\/\/memberpress.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Copy-hackers-FB-Group.png 1291w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You can even build this into the framework of your classes. For example, try posting a handful of questions and requiring that students respond in the group. Consider anonymously sharing students answers to questions posed in your materials. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Generally, think about the ways that students can learn from each other as well as learning from you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><em>Remember: the questions and ideas that your students bring to you individually are often part of a broader conversation that will benefit everyone involved. <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"6-focus-on-quality-interactions-not-stuff\">6. Focus on Quality Interactions \u2013 Not \u201cStuff\u201d<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Great messaging is an important step, but it\u2019s important to give your students access to you. The real you. Too often, digital teachers think that the trick to helping their students is always more content- more resources, more lessons, more worksheets, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are great tools, and they\u2019re absolutely vital to student success, but they\u2019re not always enough. After all, the internet is loaded with free resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Offering to hop on a quick video call proves that you\u2019re invested in your students beyond the standard methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Skype and Zoom are free tools for opening up (digital) dialogue. Consider setting aside \u201coffice hours\u201d where students can reach out to chat in more depth one-on-one. This can even be a premium feature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The trick here is offering an added level of connection that allows you and your students a chance to get to know each other as individuals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"7-every-interaction-matters\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"7_Every_Interaction_Matters\"><\/span>7. Every Interaction Matters<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want your students to stick with you in the long-run, you need to zoom in on the small moments along with your broader goals. After all, every relationship is built of tons of tiny interactions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s easy to forget when you\u2019re working in the digital space, but these moments are arguably more important because you don\u2019t have the same time face-to-face. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Building long-term relationships depends on more than just providing value. It\u2019s about perfecting every interaction you have with your student base. Whether it\u2019s a billing email, a <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/go\/lastpass\" title=\"Last Pass Affiliate link\" class=\"pretty-link-keyword\"rel=\"nofollow \" target=\"_blank\">password<\/a> recovery, an order confirmation, or a subscription renewal, there are dozens of <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.churnbuster.io\/let-your-brand-do-the-talking\/\">often-overlooked moments<\/a> that have very real impacts on your customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask yourself: does my messaging feel <strong>personalized and human? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your unique approach is what makes you stand out <a href=\"https:\/\/memberpress.com\/blog\/online-courses-attract-students\/\">online and what brings students<\/a> back again and again. Each of the techniques we\u2019ve talked about focuses on a specific point in the student journey where you can go above and beyond in establishing a connection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get proactive. Look for areas in the life cycle of a student\/customer where they may face more friction than usual and where they are making decisions that will impact the entire life of their subscription. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Use these moments to reach out and add a personal touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Do you have any techniques you use retain students in the long-term?
