What a spike in your Cancellation Curves is trying to tell you. Most cancellation curves follow a predictable shape: a small bump in early months, then a slow, steady climb. That’s the norm. But if you’re seeing a sudden spike in Month 3, something is off—and it’s probably not your product. For VSC and home […]
If you’re a VSC or home warranty marketer, tracking cancellations isn’t optional. But if you’re still relying on a single cancellation rate number, you’re missing the full story—and leaving money on the table. A cancellation rate tells you how many customers cancel.

In a Cancellation Curve, the trajectory of cancellations matters more than the final number. For VSC and home warranty marketers, the timing of cancellations drives profitability.

If you’re relying on cancellation curves from your payment plan provider—like PayLink, Mepco, or Walco—you’re only seeing part of the story.

F&I earnings curve optimization must happen before a company goes up for sale. Here’s a real-world example of how defaulting to […]
If you’re administering Vehicle Service Contracts, VSC cancellations aren’t just noise—they’re a direct hit to profitability. Refund exposure. Margin compression. Loss ratio volatility.

If you’re selling Vehicle Service Contracts (VSCs) directly to consumers, you’re operating in a high-cancel environment. Many marketers see 40–80% of contracts cancel, and flat cancels—those within 30 days—are especially painful. They erase margin, trigger chargebacks, and undermine performance metrics. But not all VSC cancellations are created equal. Contracts that cancel later are far more […]
