The document discusses how Salesforce can help companies retain customers through various features. It explains that retaining existing customers is more cost effective than acquiring new ones. Salesforce allows centralizing customer data from different systems, enabling personalization through customer insights, tracking customer relationships and interactions, improving customer service through the Service Cloud, and re-engaging inactive customers through marketing automation. Figuring out why customers are leaving and addressing issues like poor support and delays can also help with retention using Salesforce analytics.

ones is always a positive
