Upsell and cross-sell loyal customers. LivePerson Enterprise monitors specific events that indicate visitors may be interested in products offered in other lines of business, and applies business rules to trigger proactive invitations to these pre-qualified leads.  For instance, visitors who login to their checking accounts to pay bills and visit a home equity loan product pages in the same session can be targeted for an engagement.  By integrating the institution’s CRM system with Web data, agents can determine if visitors are likely to qualify for loans by their FICO score.  If visitors are not strong candidates for the loan, an alternative product, such as a credit card, may be offered.

“If banks continue to satisfy customers with the online experience while increasing usage, the end result should be a larger number of satisfied and loyal customers. In addition, increasing adoption of the online banking channel will reduce the cost required to service customers. Banks will be able to provide a more satisfying experience by delivering service through a lower cost channel (online vs. offline).”
