The speaker discusses three points related to user retention. Firstly, they suggest improving the overall retention of products by implementing features such as cool-down periods for users who have lost money to prevent emotional trading. Secondly, they recommend focusing on retaining users who trade multiple products, and finding ways to encourage this behavior. Lastly, they suggest implementing measures to prevent loss of institutional, VIP, and ROI trader clients, and exploring ways to bring back users who have left the platform. The speaker emphasizes the importance of user retention for both users and the company's revenue growth, and suggests that improving retention should be a priority.
这段话主要涉及到如何提高公司的留存率，提高用户生命周期，从而增长收入。其中，留存率的提高可以从产品的角度入手，例如通过在产品中加入提醒功能，帮助用户保持冷静和控制情绪，避免不必要的交易和亏损。此外，从整体的用户行为链路入手，帮助用户发现多交易产品的人比只交易一个产品的人留存率更高，从而鼓励用户尝试更多的产品。对于一些影响交易最大的用户（如机构、VIP和ROI交易者），可以通过RM联系他们，及时解决问题，提高留存率。在用户流失时，可以通过一些召回措施尽量将他们拉回来。综合起来，留存率的提高对于用户和公司都有好处，因此应该在产品和用户角度上共同努力。
