Deep faceless voice intones solemnly …

Any similarities between real life and the fictional company and characters in this story are unintentional.

However these positive returns of predictive analytics are absolutely possible …

In the offices of a $200MM B2B supplier of equipment to companies
that do polls and surveys …
"Questionable Contact"

Hearts are pounding
Palms are sweaty
It’s flight or fight

Because there’s declining revenue, a projected shortfall in meeting fiscal year goals … what to do …

This is usually the time for a commercial break.

Faced with contacting the remaining 80% of customers … the team grappled with how to best identify who to contact. Thousands of customers are in this group!
![Page 16: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
And if the top 20% of customers brought disappointing results, can the remaining 80% make up the shortfall? And, who to contact?
![Page 17: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Contacting even a targeted list of the 80% would require substantial resources. And these customers produce just 20% of the company's revenue. How to justify this effort?

Cue some music that conjures “save the day” feelings.
![Page 21: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
There’s a will.
There must be a way.
There must be a method to identify the best group of customers to contact among these thousands of customers.
Let’s examine …
![Page 22: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
What can solve this complex problem?Predictive analytics. Perfect for this situation. Why?
![Page 23: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Predictive analytics finds patterns in sales data. Patterns that only powerful analytics can see.
![Page 24: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
These patterns predict upcoming customer actions.
Predictive analytics finds patterns among hundreds of variables in sales data that predict customers' future behavior, and identifies the customers who are most likely to buy right now.
Predictive analytics are able to tell exactly who to call and when.
![Page 25: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
This company’s previous strategy of contacting the top 20% of customers was based on historical purchase data and review of business intelligence and sales analysis reports.
The past doesn't always predict the future, particularly in changing economic conditions.
![Page 26: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Plus, if you think about it, wouldn't many of the "top 20%" customers have once been among the "bottom 80%" until they were cultivated as high-value customers?
![Page 27: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Plus, if you think about it, wouldn't many of the "top 20%" customers have once been among the "bottom 80%" until they were cultivated as high-value customers?
So who among the 80% are next to emerge as major accounts?
![Page 28: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
This potential is what predictive analytics can identify. Wouldn't this team surely want to be calling upon those customers!
![Page 29: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
After implementing a predictive analytics retention model, calls by the sales reps brought a 10% return and $4 million in incremental revenue during the first phase of customer contacts.
![Page 30: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
What's more, this required no extra sales team resources -- the model simply suggested which customers should be contacted each day.
![Page 31: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
The team did wish they had seen more revenue results, but adoption was not 100% -- not all sales reps fully followed the model's recommendations.
Of course. That's understandable.
![Page 32: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
They could get skeptical about yet another campaign.
![Page 33: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
However this was different. It’s not an ordinary campaign.
![Page 34: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
However this was different. It’s not an ordinary campaign.
Word is spreading among the sales reps that their colleagues who "mined the gold" are developing new and stronger customer relationships.
They’re selling more. They’re golden.
![Page 35: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Sales management intend to have sales reps continue to contact customers based on model recommendations daily, and this should further increase the annual incremental return.
![Page 36: SDI CHICAGO World Premiere Episode](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022061203/546d670ab4af9f842c8b5420/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Thus, a happy wrap-up by the end of the episode.

It’s not over yet though.
Thought you were getting away 100% commercial-free?

Someone’s gotta type all this stuff.
And find all the pictures.
And make it look presentable.
