PROJECT 3:
Business Analytics:Predicting Churn Using Machine Learning

Overview:

This project analyzed customer churn for Cell2Cell, the 6th largest wireless company in the U.S. with 10 million customers. With a monthly churn rate of 4%, half of which is voluntary, the analysis aimed to identify key churn predictors and propose actionable strategies to improve customer retention and lifetime value (LTV).Problem: How do we proactively retain customers and increase revenue?

Key Highlights:

  • Objective: Analyze customer behavior to identify churn predictors and propose retention strategies.
  • Scope: Utilized a dataset representing 71,047 customers with 66 variables.
  • Methodology: Applied logistic regression and other analytical techniques to derive actionable insights.

Approach:

  1. Data Analysis: Explored the dataset to understand customer demographics, usage patterns, and service history.
  2. Predictive Modeling: Developed models to identify key factors contributing to customer churn.
  3. Strategy Development: Formulated targeted retention strategies based on analytical findings.

Key Insights:

  • Equipment Age: Older devices correlated with a higher likelihood of churn.
  • Service Tenure: Shorter service durations were associated with increased churn rates.

Usage Patterns: Variations in monthly usage influenced customer retention. Lower monthly usage increased churn likelihood

Proposed Solutions:

  1. models.
  2. Loyalty Programs: Implement rewards for long-term customers to enhance retention.
  3. Usage-Based Rewards: Offer benefits to customers with consistent or increasing usage patterns.

My Contribution

  • Used insights from the logistic regression model  to identify the key predictors of customer churn, including equipment age, unique subscriptions, and service tenure.
  • Translated analytical findings into actionable insights by calculating the economic impact of churn predictors
  •  Developed a tiered incentive plan to retain high-risk customer segments.
  • Designed a customer segmentation framework, grouping customers into revenue deciles to tailor retention strategies and maximize profitability.
  • Presented findings and strategies to a team of stakeholders to communicate the business impact and expected outcomes of the proposed retention plans.
