[![](https://www.managedservicesplatform.com/hubfs/prevent-churn-blog-preview.jpeg)](https://blog.humanizeit.biz/5-practical-ways-msps-can-prevent-churn)

We asked last week during our [webinar with Sea-Level Operations](https://info.managedservicesplatform.com/get-out-of-account-management-debt): What are the symptoms of Account Management debt? Low perceived value,  communication breakdown, and churn were included in 100% of the responses. Most interestingly 77% of the time churn was mentioned without prompting. During the session we analyzed this situation and identified the crucial methods to prevent potential churn. We are going to highlight the 5 major activities Account Managers can do to accomplish this.
