A dataset with 7,043 records was used for telco customer churn prediction, focusing on various factors like usage patterns, contract types, and service complaints.
Steps included data cleaning, EDA to uncover churn drivers, preparing data for model building, and constructing a Random Forest model.
EDA revealed key churn drivers such as monthly charges, tenure, and contract types, with month-to-month contracts showing higher churn rates.
The Random Forest model achieved around 80% accuracy despite data imbalance, highlighting predictors like tenure, charges, and contract types.
Proposed strategies to reduce churn include promoting longer contracts, optimizing pricing, enhancing service quality, refining payment processes, and investing in predictive analytics.
Recommendations involve incentivizing longer contracts, adjusting pricing for high-cost services like fiber optics, improving tech support, simplifying payment processes, and utilizing predictive analytics for real-time insights.
Overall, the project emphasizes actionable strategies to address churn drivers, enhance customer loyalty, and drive sustainable growth.
