Our take
Customer retention is vital for business, yet it is not abnormal to have a somewhat high customer loss rate. Oftentimes, the pain points causing clients to abandon providers are entirely preventable through heightened support - this is where Skilljar comes in.
Skilljar's enterprise-grade customer learning platform provides a suite of tools for client engagement and enablement. It delivers consistent, comprehensive, and trackable customer training programs, as well as supplying actionable insights for businesses to tweak and improve their approaches towards better customer experiences.
An interesting side-effect of using Skilljar, which the company highlights, is that users become not only more likely to remain, but more likely to recommend - meaning the platform contributes not only to retention but also to higher levels of product adoption.
With significant funding at its back, and the sealed reputation as a leader in the field, Skilljar's future looks bright. Its own 2022 Customer Education Benchmarks and Trends Report displays a number of results showcasing the value it brings to clients, which should further help it to secure more customers and grow into the future.
