CUSTOMER STORIES
Insurance company triples home insurance cross-sell by automating predictive
A leading insurance and financial services provider wanted to identify and execute cross-sell opportunities for various insurance types. Pecan worked with the marketing and sales teams focused on auto and home insurance.
THE RESULTS
3x
higher campaign
conversion
10x
improved model performance
2 weeks
to effective vs. 6 months from in-house model
The challenge
Negative customer experience with unfocused upsell campaigns
The sales team was conducting generic upsell campaigns aimed to offer home insurance bundles to current auto policyholders. The traditional outreach approach resulted in low upsell conversion rates, unproductive sales reps, and negatively impacted customer experience.
The SOLUTION
Tailored, targeted home insurance upsell to maximize conversion
Pecan’s platform ingested all raw historical sales and customer data and built a predictive model to help identify the highest likely customers to purchase home insurance.
The primary end result was 3x the campaign conversions. But like many instances of upgrading standard BI to predictive analytics, benefits spanned the entire customer journey. Sellers saved time by not having to target accounts unlikely to convert, while customer experience benefitted from campaigns only going to those who were likely to convert.
The SUCCESS
Tripled conversion rate from 5 to 15%
In only a few hours, Pecan delivered a fully functional model that was able to meet and even outperform a competing model developed by the internal data science team over 6 months. Pecan’s model improved the conversion rate by 3x (5% to 15%). Moreover, Pecan was able to enhance performance even further (up to 10x) by combining their model with the internally developed one maximizing impact and demonstrating the powerful combination of traditional data science along with the Pecan platform.
