About this course

When the word "churn" appears in product meetings, it often sends a chill down everyone's spine. It's that dreaded moment when customers start slipping away, taking their business elsewhere, leaving teams wondering what went wrong. But what if we could spot these warning signs before customers even think about leaving?
Customer churn isn't just about numbers dropping on a dashboard — it's about broken relationships, unmet expectations, and missed opportunities. Every customer who leaves tells a story: perhaps they found the product too complex, felt unsupported, or simply didn't see the value they expected. These stories hold the keys to preventing future departures.
But how do you know which signals truly matter? When customer engagement drops, is it a temporary blip or the beginning of a downward spiral? What separates an effective intervention from one that might push customers away faster? These questions lie at the heart of our Churn Busting course.
Building lasting customer relationships in the digital age presents unique challenges. While tracking metrics and implementing automated systems is straightforward, creating meaningful connections and delivering consistent value requires a more nuanced approach. This course explores both the science and art of customer retention.
Whether you're dealing with silent churners who slip away without a word, vocal critics who challenge your product decisions, or at-risk customers showing early warning signs, this course equips you with strategies to turn the tide. Join us to master the essential skills of identifying, preventing, and reducing customer churn in today's competitive digital landscape.

From self-taught designer to leading an industry-changing learning platform, my journey has been all about continuous upskilling and real-world application. I built my career by taking on high-stakes projects—from freelancing across global teams to scaling UX in a U.S. enterprise company, where I led design for multiple product teams in complex industries.

Over the past 10+ years, I’ve worked across freelance, startup, and enterprise environments, experiencing firsthand the challenges of learning UX on the job. That’s why, in 2020, I co-founded Uxcel—to create a better way for designers to build their skills efficiently. Today, 400K+ professionals and 200+ teams use Uxcel to grow their UX and product expertise.

I believe the best learning happens in small, impactful steps, not in overwhelming theory. My courses are built to help you grasp key concepts fast, sharpen your skills, and gain the confidence to apply them in real-world work.

Loved by learners from world’s top companies

I was amazed when I used Uxcel for the first time. The traditional e-learning platforms are tedious and boring with too much redundant information.
What I love most about Uxcel is the variety of courses, LinkedIn certificates, and the new feature highlighting key terms with pop-up definitions. It’s easy to use, and you can study at your own pace—even just one module a day!
If you consistently follow Uxcel's recommendations (and do all including project briefs), you'll undoubtedly experience significant growth as a designer.

While the course starts with fundamentals, having basic knowledge of UX design principles and product metrics will help you get the most value. Understanding how users interact with digital products and familiarity with basic analytics concepts provides helpful context. We recommend completing UX Design Foundations and Product Discovery courses first, as they establish crucial groundwork in user behavior and product development principles. However, anyone involved in customer-facing roles can benefit from this course's practical approach to retention strategies.
