Challenge

As an industry characterized by intense competition and an extensive customer base, the leading telco providers were looking for a way to reduce churn, meanwhile improving the prioritization of proper accounts in their sales efforts. With acquisitions costs for new customers of 7x that of retaining an existing customer, reducing churn was a strategic priority from the top. The existing churn modelling setup for the leading telco provider was based on simple statistical models and based on a shallow data foundation, providing suboptimal results. In addition, the leading telco provider did not have a proper process and approach to prioritize potential customers to drive new revenue as well as prioritizing existing customers in terms of an increasing share of wallet and combatting churn.

Solution

Utilizing Firmnav, the telco provider built an AI model that predicts churn in the customer base and provides the account rep and customer success team with instant alerts to take preventative actions. In combination with the churn model, an AI model that drives better customer prioritization was built. The model was built on patterns in data from the Firmnav data library and the telco provider’s own data sources. Everything was integrated into the leading telco provider’s ERP and CRM systems.

Results
