CUSTOMER SUCCESS
Leveraging AI for Proactive and Predictive Support
Using AI for Predictive Analytics
Employ predictive analytics to identify potential customer issues and opportunities for engagement.
Why it's Important
Anticipates customer needs and behaviors before they happen.
Allows for proactive outreach, reducing reactive support tickets.
Enables better allocation of resources to high-priority customers.
How to Implement
Collect and integrate data from multiple sources (e.g., usage patterns, ticket history).
Use machine learning to develop predictive models for churn, upsell opportunities, and support needs.
Set up dashboards to monitor customer health scores and risk indicators.
Train your team to interpret and act on predictive insights.
Continuously refine models with new data.
Available Workshops
Data Integration Workshop: Ensure all customer data sources are centralized and accessible.
Model Development Sprint: Collaborate with data scientists to build churn prediction models.
Health Score Calibration: Define customer health metrics and thresholds for action.
Scenario Testing Drill: Simulate predictive insights and their real-world applications.
Action Plan Creation: Develop standard operating procedures (SOPs) for acting on predictive insights.
Iteration Review Meeting: Regularly assess and refine predictive models.
Deliverables

Don't Make These Mistakes
Over-relying on AI without human validation.
Ignoring outliers that could indicate unique customer issues.
Using outdated or incomplete data for predictions.
Failing to refine models as customer behavior evolves.
Overlooking ethical considerations in data use.
