Whether online or agent-assisted, traditional cable and telecommunications sales interactions are almost always challenged from the start. Consumers are often unaware of which broadband services will best meet their need. At the same time, sales teams and websites typically know little about the individual broadband consumer’s preferences and needs. As a result, these interactions often lead to suboptimal sales results that suppress ARPU and customer satisfaction.
Actifai’s groundbreaking approach bridges this knowledge gap by leveraging artificial intelligence and machine learning to recommend the optimal package of services personalized to each consumer based on their distinct needs, interests, and circumstances. It is the simplest way to increase ARPU, sales conversion rates, and retention in as fast as four weeks.
