CRM Consulting

Promoting services and developing new solutions is crucial for higher telco’s competitiveness. Marketing specialists analyze available information on clients, market situation, products promotion by the company and its rivals, etc. Results depend much, however, on individuality of specialists, their evaluation accuracy and ability to “guess” the right solution.

According to the modern industrial approach, marketing solutions should be competi-tive and independent of subjectivity.

CBOSS provides CRM Consulting enabling an objective approach by using formal mathematic tools.

The CRM consulting results may be immediately employed in marketing arrangements. For example, the client gets the profile of high value pre-churners - a decision rule for the multitude of customers’ formal characteristics (age, balance dynamics, etc.). Our customer retention guidelines facilitate operators’ churn reduction pro-grams.
