Your Health Score Is Green But They Are Gone - The Silent Segment of Customers | Episode 109
Sep 08, 2026
Season 109
Alex Turkovic
Ever felt like you're talking to a wall with some of your customers? We all have that "silent segment" - those accounts that have seemingly ghosted us, showing no activity, sending no support tickets, yet potentially still showing "green" on our health scorecards. It's a common dilemma, and frankly, it's one of the scariest scenarios in customer success because silence often precedes churn.
In this episode, I dive into how to identify these silent customers, differentiate between healthy silence and warning-sign silence, and – most importantly – what to do about it. We'll explore two key metrics to track, four customer segments based on their engagement patterns, and even a third, often overlooked type of "silence" that can plague your organization. Plus, I share how AI can be a game-changer in surfacing those hidden signals. Join me to learn how to turn silent customers into active, engaged, and retained ones.
