Executive Summary

Representative engagement. Metrics shown are illustrative of typical results.

A multi-site services network with 12 locations and 50+ specialists serving 100,000+ customers was struggling with retention and service gaps. Despite strong service quality, they faced retention rates of only 68% and annual gaps of 32%, below operational benchmarks.

Through comprehensive AI-powered engagement and retention implementation led by Consor AI, the network achieved a 30% increase in customer retention, a 45% reduction in service gaps, and a 25% improvement in lifecycle completion rates.

The Challenge

The organization had built a robust network but was facing significant challenges in retaining customers and maintaining service continuity:

  • Low customer retention with 32% churn annually
  • High service gap rate of 45% resulting in inconsistent outcomes
  • Generic outreach that did not resonate with individual customer needs
  • Manual customer communication processes across multiple locations
  • Limited personalization in lifecycle reminders and follow-ups
  • Inconsistent communication protocols across locations
  • Ineffective recall campaigns with low response rates

With growing demand but declining retention, leadership recognized that improving engagement and coordination was critical to achieving their goal of 90% retention and better outcomes.

Our Approach

Consor AI conducted a comprehensive analysis of engagement challenges and implemented a multi-layered AI solution focused on personalization, automation, and lifecycle coordination:

1. AI-Powered Customer Communication

We developed an intelligent communication system that analyzes customer history, activity patterns, and preferences to deliver highly personalized outreach. The system uses predictive analytics to identify at-risk customers and triggers appropriate interventions.

2. Automated Service Gap Management

We implemented smart reminder systems that automatically track missed milestones, overdue follow-ups, and service requirements. The system sends personalized messages with relevant information and scheduling assistance.

3. Multi-Channel Engagement

We created automated outreach across SMS, email, and voice channels that trigger based on customer behavior and preferences. The system sends contextual messages with scheduling links, updates, and reminders to encourage ongoing engagement.

4. Personalized Service Plans

We developed dynamic plan personalization that adapts outreach based on individual customer status, history, and engagement patterns. The system creates unique communication strategies for each segment.

5. Network-Wide Analytics

We implemented comprehensive dashboards that provide real-time insights into engagement, service gap rates, retention metrics, and communication effectiveness across all locations. This enables data-driven decision-making and continuous improvement.

6. Systems Integration

We integrated with core CRM and operations systems to enable seamless workflows, scheduling synchronization, and plan coordination. The system provides centralized visibility while maintaining location-specific customization.
