Predicting Customer Churn Model + Business Use Cases

Hi all, we're back with another Meetup taking place early September!

Most Marketing and Sales departments understand that advanced analytics can help detect, anticipate, and mitigate customer churn, but the steps to actually accurately predicting churn are often unclear.

End-to-end, from raw data to production, how can a sales/marketing department deploy a churn prediction model?

Along with Keyrus (http://www.keyrus.co.uk) we will break down a few use cases of Advanced Analytics for Churn Prediction.

First Talk:
