Tracking churn signals &#8211; such as declining activity, unresponded emails, or stalled renewal deals &#8211; within CRM allows teams to intervene before a customer is lost.<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Churn Signals in Zoho CRM<\/h2>\n<p>CRM activity data can reveal early churn signals: a customer who used to respond to emails within a day is now taking a week, no Activities have been logged against their Account in 60 days, or their renewal Deal has been sitting in the same stage for 45 days. <a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/zia-deal-prediction\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Zia Deal Prediction<\/a> can flag at-risk renewal deals based on these patterns.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/scoring-rule\/\" class=\"sp-content-link\">Scoring Rules<\/a> can be configured on Contact or Account records to apply negative scores when activity drops, giving customer success teams a ranked list of at-risk accounts to prioritise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Industry Example<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-example-box\"><strong>B2B Software:<\/strong> A B2B software company monitors renewal deals using a Blueprint on their Deals module with a &#8220;Renewal at Risk&#8221; stage. When a customer&#8217;s Account shows no activity for 45 days and the renewal deal has not progressed in 30 days, a Workflow Rule moves the deal to &#8220;Renewal at Risk&#8221; and creates an urgent task for the customer success manager. The team recovers 60% of flagged at-risk accounts before the renewal date.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Related Terms<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-related-pills\"><a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/customer-lifetime-value\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Customer Lifetime Value (CLV)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/upsell\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Upsell<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/deal-opportunity\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Deal (Opportunity)<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/scoring-rule\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Scoring Rule<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/zia-deal-prediction\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Zia Deal Prediction<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/glossary\/activity\/\" class=\"sp-content-link gt-related-pill\">Activity<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"gt-section\">\n<h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"gt-faq-item\">\n<h3>What is Churn in Zoho CRM?<\/h3>\n<p>Churn refers to customer attrition &#8211; customers who stop buying or end their relationship with a business.
