Urgent but Unspoken Save Tactics


TL;DR - This daily email series is what we'll cover in the "Save Customers" workshop on Jan-15 (16 in Australia). It's good stuff on it's own; it's better if you come to the workshop and get the details.

Drastic times call for drastic measures.

This step is all about taking immediate action using emergency tactics that can stop churn in its tracks.

Whether it’s leveraging the Deflect, Distract, Delay method, employing dark patterns and "cancel flow" sludge, or even taking advantage of temporary regulatory gaps like the FTC’s new "Click to Cancel" rule not being enforced until May 2025, these measures are not for the faint of heart.

Please note: these are NOT customer-centric, but are reserved for those dire situations where saving the customer at all costs is the priority. Like, if you don't save customers you lose your job, the org gets fired, or your company goes out of business.

These tactics demand precision and an understanding of the psychology behind customer - human - decision-making. Used recklessly, they can backfire and cause long-term damage to trust and brand reputation.

In the workshop, we’ll break down these emergency measures, explain when to use them, how to mitigate risks, and why knowing their limits is critical.

Tomorrow, I’ll send you an email on the next tactic: Save the Right Customers, Ignore Others. Stay tuned!

Look at this response I got from a SaaS CEO after sending yesterday’s email about the $1.6M ARR in 90-days case study: "Lincoln, I've followed you for years, and I respect what you do. But this is either the biggest load of shit I’ve ever seen, or it’s fucking genius. Your reputation is stellar, and you’ve never steered us wrong. But to say I’m skeptical is an understatement." Um, language. But I get it. We’ve been conditioned to believe expansion is slow, incremental, and unpredictable. It’s...

Most revenue leaders wouldn’t ignore their net-new pipeline—so why do they ignore expansion? They assume expansion is slow, just “long-term” revenue. They’re wrong.
