The goal

Streamlining lead acquisition and customer communications management

Dedicated to delivering unparalleled services, Altshuler grappled with effectively qualifying incoming leads and fostering meaningful interactions with both existing and potential customers.

Altshuler Horizon faced three main challenges:

Lead management: the primary challenge was the lack of timely engagement with high-potential leads. Some visitors who registered online weren’t immediately addressed by Altshuler, a delay causing hot leads to lose interest. This lag was even more pronounced for those who submitted their information over the weekend, often waiting for a response for several days.

Customer engagement: customers have often abandoned calls after facing an Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system, resulting in missed sales opportunities. Also, response times increased, as agents faced inquiries on social media channels. Altshuler needed an efficient way to engage with customers, provide information, and identify sales opportunities, while keeping the experience flowing.

Agent productivity: agents were overwhelmed by monotonous inquiries and the manual task of summarizing lengthy conversations. Also, sales agents were struggling to reach hot leads in time, missing potential opportunities. This situation not only led to exhaustion but also compromised their overall productivity.

“We were looking to streamline our acquisition process with a business partner that possesses not only the technology but also proven methodologies to achieve growth. CommBox tailored a set of solutions that integrate with our CRM, empowering us to pave the way for success”.

Lead qualification automation: CommBox’s AI chatbot automated lead qualification across messaging channels, such as WhatsApp. The AI bot was also used to provide information regarding financial investments such as cryptocurrency, and delivered customers with over most of the relevant information, before transferring them to a live agent. This not only streamlined the process but also enriched the customer experience with a personalized touch.

This distinction enabled tailored interactions: existing customers received in-depth case analyses to enhance satisfaction and boost transaction values, while newcomers were provided with detailed insights to facilitate informed, data-centric purchases. Additionally, this integration ensured that all conversation data was synchronized and saved within their CRM.

Real-time dashboards and BI reports – Althuler was able to monitor performance in real-time, from marketing campaign performance, incoming leads and conversion rates, to bot agent productivity. Also, Althuler used CommBox’s built-in BI dashboard, presenting deep insights of the customer journey. This powerful data tool fostered data-driven decision-making and empowered Altshuler to achieve growth.
