After a thorough analysis of the models at hand and based on the conclusion that the variance explained was too low, we decided to restart from scratch and build a new model.A qualitative methodology was set up to find the variables to include in the prediction model. This qualitative methodology was based on open coding of interactions between call center agents and customers on the one hand, and on structured customers' interviews on the other hand. A new model was proposed and validated that correlated certain dimensions of service quality, technical KPI's, brand perceptions and churn. An innovative framework to measure customer experience and emotions was also introduced.
