Integrating the power of Artificial Intelligence (AI) can optimize performance marketing strategies and transform inbound calling. It can create unprecedented opportunities to enhance efficiency by driving workflow automation and creating actionable intelligence for enterprises.

AI for Performance Marketing

Performance marketing is a marketing approach where businesses or enterprises pay a fee to an affiliate or a partner for specific actions or outcomes such as clicks, inbound calls, or leads. It depends on channels such as pay-per-call (PPC), display advertising, social media and others. AI is empowering businesses to efficiently target and convert customers through analysis of large volumes of data. It can identify top-performing campaigns through analytics, boosting marketing ROI. Moreover, businesses can offer 24*7 support to customers by building AI-based chatbots and digital assistants. But there is still a lot of untapped potential. 

Transforming performance marketing using real time intelligence and the power of generative AI

Personalize customer interactions: Performance marketing campaigns focus on quantitative data – for instance highlighting keywords that deliver best traction or using call analytics and tracking capabilities. With conversation intelligence, companies can level up and tap into qualitative intelligence: the pain points of customers, preferences, and the intent when customers reach out in real time using APIs, making every customer interaction personalized. Post call, using generative AI, companies can dissect conversations and build customer profiles based on past conversations to drive targeted efforts in optimizing sales pipeline for better lead qualification and conversion.  

Evaluate best distributors to work with: Using generative AI, companies can uncover affiliate or distribution partner specific intelligence for example, identify which partners provide best results – calls with business relevant leads, leads with highest conversion, or lowest fraud/scam customers.   

Assist agents in real time: In fast-paced industries such as healthcare or e-commerce, customers have urgent requirements and need immediate assistance – an opportunity to convert on the spot. Using conversation intelligence, businesses can take advantage of that by accelerating knowledge article sharing to convert leads quicker and automating after call work such as CRM data entry or creating summaries to make agents more productive and handle more calls.

Ensure compliance: campaigns need to ensure compliance with regulations such as HIPAA, GDPR, and PCI when handling sensitive customer data including personal details or credit card details. With conversation intelligence APIs, companies can automate identification and redaction of sensitive data from conversations in real time. Using generative AI, companies can understand the regulatory requirement and identify which part of the conversation was non-compliant to take corrective actions.

Scale coaching for agents: periodic call monitoring for quality assurance is done on a sample basis and is time-consuming. With conversational AI, companies can enable targeted coaching for their agents by analyzing conversations at scale. Companies can evaluate performance of agents over historic calls to identify strengths and weaknesses and design a tailored coaching plan for better performance.

Competitor Analysis: Leveraging generative AI, companies can break down conversations into parts and see how customers perceive competitors -their strengths and weaknesses. Moreover, evaluate how consumer perception about the brand has evolved over a period by analyzing past conversations.
