Introduction

This case study showcases an impactful project undertaken by our team at Priorise, working in collaboration with a leading organization in the technology industry. The client aimed to enhance their sales enablement efforts by leveraging their in-house recommendation engine and an internal propensity to buy (PTB) model. The objective was to identify high-potential accounts for specific products, generate personalized marketing pitches, develop a comprehensive selling strategy, and recommend suitable learning tools to drive successful sales outcomes. This case study explores how our team addressed the communication challenge of delivering customized messages to over 5,000 employees, considering individual performance levels, recent market uncertainties, and the need to uplift employee morale. Through the seamless integration of performance data, the PTB model, recommendation engine, and the ChatGPT API, we achieved remarkable results, significantly improving engagement metrics and driving tangible business outcomes.

Challenge

First, they needed to identify the accounts under each seller with a high likelihood of purchasing specific products, utilizing their recommendation engine and the PTB model. Second, they sought to create personalized marketing pitches and comprehensive selling strategies for the selected sellers. Additionally, the communication process had to consider the impact of recent layoffs and uncertain market conditions, and flexibly cater to the performance levels (high, medium, or low) of each employee. The scale of the pilot program, encompassing over 5,000 employees, further intensified the challenge of delivering customized messages effectively.
