Key-account churn
Key-account churn is the loss of a major customer account, and in enterprise B2B it rarely arrives without warning. The signals accumulate quietly, an executive relationship that was never built, a champion who left and was never replaced, a competitor building relationships inside the account, long before the revenue line moves. By the time churn is visible in the number, the account has usually been eroding for quarters.
Why it matters
Churn is almost always competitive before it is visible. Accounts where the early signals are measured and worked get defended months ahead of the renewal, while the outcome can still change.
