The Conversations On The Couch
The Origin Story
Mark and I have worked together for several years and we would often end the workday discussing work on a couch, often with a beer. The topics were varied, but it was often about the customer. What’s happening with them, how do we understand them better, what can we do to improve renewal rates.
We were surprised by several things. The health of the customer is often the talk of many departments but can slip between the cracks very easily. The tools to help understand customers and their usage of our product were few and immature. So, with brute force, we pooled data and a few projects together to attack customer success. And the data opened our eyes. With the information about how our clients are using our subscription service and the data about who they are, our customer success team simply had better focus. And add the smart automation and communications that we built in our marketing automation days and we made a real impact.
So we decided to take these learnings and decades of software entrepreneurship and start ChurnZero.
A churn of zero is a huge goal — unattainable for some perhaps. But why don’t we are start there and see how far we can get.
We hope we can help your business.
Best,

Mark Heys
Founder and CTOAbout Mark, by You Mon When I first met Mark, he was the CTO of a public company and he was still a prolific coder. At first, I thought that dude was too deep in the weeds. But now I understand that he has the rare combination of leader, manager and doer. Mark has a history of success, having started his own company and helping Vocus grow from a small company to a thriving public company. Mark is an animal; he gets it done.
