LEVERAGING AI FOR SMARTER TELEMARKETING CAMPAIGNS

BNP Paribas Cardif and Universo, a financial services company founded by Cardif’s long-time partner Sonae, have worked together to improve the sales of insurance products (available via Universo’s credit cards), in order to address one of the main pain-points of partners: maximising the profitability of its outbound telemarketing campaigns.With over one million customers, Universo is well established in the market but wanted to enhance its efficiency to bring more of its customer base to insurance products.

To optimise the first offer made to each client, BNP Paribas Cardif and its partner developed an analytics solution based on several machine learning algorithms. BNP Paribas Cardif’s expertise and Sonae’s data were merged in an agile framework, enabling the partners to implement the project together while making AI-empowered human choices at every step. The results speak for themselves: +27% policies sold per lead.
