Solution: We performed a value calculation, based on customer lifetime,
ARPU generated and accumulated costs to find out what the true value of
a customer was to the operator. As dealers will acquire prepaid customers
with very different lifetime values, knowing which dealers generate high-
value customers is key. This makes it possible for the channel management
to steer commissions to the optimal channels and generate the highest total
value for the operator (see Figure 5).
2.3 Stage three: Interactive operations
Interactive operations represent the next stage of customer centricity. Here,
operators integrate interactivity into the work between their centralized and
functional teams. They work closely together, and the information flows
both ways. The focus shifts toward predicting future customer behavior
rather than analyzing historical behavior. Therefore, tests and campaigns are
used to evaluate customer behavior and optimize customer understanding.
To illustrate this point, we look into the processes for churn prediction and
retention campaigns:
Specialized churn prediction teams use models based on network analysis of
individual call data provided by the central data warehouse. Each customer
call is analyzed in near real time.
