Understand exits and improve the experience for those who stay

When a member leaves, it’s easy to move on but much more powerful to understand why. An exit survey gives you honest, valuable feedback about what didn’t work, what was missing, or what changed.

We’ll help you design surveys that feel respectful and constructive, encouraging leavers to share their perspective. Whether the decision to leave was about cost, value, life changes or unmet expectations, the insight can help you strengthen your offer, reduce future loss, and even re-engage lapsed members down the line.

With the right questions and tone, an exit survey isn’t the end – it’s a learning opportunity.

Our accreditations

Our accreditations reflect our commitment to delivering the highest standards in quality, data security, and ethical research. They give you the confidence that our methods are rigorous, your data is secure, and the insights we provide are both reliable and actionable.

Excellent from start to finish

The service from The Survey Initiative was excellent from start to finish – they took the time to understand our organisation and requirements, developed a survey to suit our needs, and provided clear, detailed reporting on responses. We would absolutely recommend them for anyone looking to gain insight into employee engagement in their organisation.

Extremely helpful

They were extremely helpful, and patient when waiting for me to provide information. Extremely informative, throughout the whole process, and couldn’t do enough for us.

More than a survey

A tool for insight and improvement

Our member exit surveys go beyond asking why someone left. They’re a vital tool for:

  • Understanding the real reasons behind lapses, cancellations or non-renewals
  • Identifying preventable issues – and what could have changed their mind
  • Spotting patterns across member types, demographics or duration
  • Informing retention strategies and membership development
  • Showing that you listen – even at the end of the journey

Tailored to you

Your leavers, your learning, your next steps

Every exit is an opportunity to learn. A well-designed exit survey helps you uncover insights that can shape future retention and engagement.

We’ll work with you to explore motivations for leaving, satisfaction with membership overall, and whether former members might return. Whether you want something simple and automated or more in-depth and reflective, we’ll make sure the feedback is meaningful.

Insight you can trust. Retention strategies you can sharpen.

You’ll receive a clear presentation showing exit trends, areas for improvement, and opportunities to re-engage. We can also support you with:

  • Thematic analysis to spot recurring issues
  • Recommendations to strengthen the renewal journey
  • Presentations to teams or boards focused on retention and growth

Our goal is to help you turn member departures into insight – and improve the experience for those who stay.

Ready to listen? Let’s talk

When members depart, their feedback can reveal more than dissatisfaction, it can highlight gaps, clarify expectations, and identify opportunities to strengthen retention.

A member exit survey isn’t just about looking back; it’s a forward-facing tool to help you evolve, refine your offer, and show your commitment to listening – even at the end of the journey.

If you’re ready to turn exits into insight, we’re here to help. Whether you’re starting fresh or refining your existing approach, we’ll support you every step of the way.
