You’re proud of what you’ve built — but members are ghosting, engagement is low, refund requests are creeping in, and let’s be honest... it’s harder than it should be to scale. That’s where this podcast comes in. Think of Build With Becky like a voice note from your smart friend to help you tweak your programs, get better student outcomes, and make more money along the way. You can expect practical strategies, real client stories, and zero B.S. advice. We’ll talk product strategy, member experience, onboarding, retention, and how to turn your community into your biggest growth engine — all in under 10 minutes. You don’t need a bigger audience. You need a smarter product. Let’s build it — together.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-11T02:21:29.701126+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/build-with-becky-smart-strategies-to-grow-your-community-driven-business-7352055"},"episode":{"title":"1.77M In Revenue From A 5% Retention Lift","slug":"1-77m-in-revenue-from-a-5-retention-lift","published_at":"2026-08-06T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/build-with-becky-smart-strategies-to-grow-your-community-driven-business-7352055/1-77m-in-revenue-from-a-5-retention-lift","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/build-with-becky-smart-strategies-to-grow-your-community-driven-business-7352055","url":"https://build-with-becky.captivate.fm","audio_url":"https://episodes.captivate.fm/episode/7587d481-6105-4354-b8b9-2c7f2a3e96e2.mp3","summary":"Retention can feel like a nerdy, abstract word, so in this episode I put real dollars behind it. I walk through three scenarios showing exactly what a 5% retention lift is worth in a monthly membership: a 100 member community at $80 a month, a 500 member community at $50 a month, and a real client example with 1,000 members at $1,000 a month. Across every scenario, five points of retention adds up to 27% more annual revenue and roughly twice as many original members still around at the end of the year. I also share how I increased retention at Bossbabe by 5% through programming changes, and why focusing on member journey and member experience turns your programming into your marketing strategy. If you want to know what a few percentage points of retention could be worth in your community, this is the math episode for you.
