Using predictive analytics to identify at-risk segments

Predictive models are data-driven tools that use machine learning algorithms and statistical techniques to forecast customer behavior based on historical data. These tools analyze patterns in customer actions—such as login frequency, purchase history, and interaction with support teams — to predict future behavior. For example, models can forecast which customers are most likely to upgrade, churn, or engage with a particular product feature.

Businesses use predictive analytics platforms like Salesforce Einstein, Google Analytics Predictive Metrics, or HubSpot Predictive Lead Scoring to generate these insights. By anticipating customer needs, companies can offer personalized offers, discounts, or product recommendations before issues arise. This approach increases retention and keeps customers engaged without waiting for signs of disengagement.
