Reference module: Essentials of always-on outbound

A bank has been running traditional marketing campaigns for many years. One such campaign sends an offer email to qualified customers on day 1. On day 3, it sends a reminder email to customers who haven't responded to the first email. On day 7, it sends a second reminder to customers who haven't responded to the first two emails. If you were to re-implement this requirement using the always-on outbound customer engagement paradigm, how would you approach this scenario?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

To re-implement the bank's traditional marketing campaign using the always-on outbound customer engagement paradigm in Pega, follow these steps:

Understand the Traditional Campaign Requirements:

Day 1: Send an offer email to qualified customers.

Day 3: Send a reminder email to customers who haven't responded to the first email.

Day 7: Send a second reminder to customers who haven't responded to the first two emails.

Set Up Next-Best-Action Designer:

Use the Next-Best-Action Designer to define engagement policies, arbitration, and channels to manage customer interactions.

The always-on approach continuously evaluates customer interactions and selects the best action based on real-time data and AI-driven insights.

Configure the Primary Schedule:

Set up a daily run schedule for the Next-Best-Action strategy. This allows the AI to evaluate customer interactions daily and decide the best action to take.

Leverage AI for Decisioning:

Configure the AI models to determine the best action for each customer based on their interaction history and engagement policies. The AI will automatically handle:

Sending the initial offer email on Day 1.

Sending a reminder email on Day 3 to those who haven't responded.

Sending a second reminder on Day 7 to those who still haven't responded.

Define Engagement Policies:

Eligibility: Define which customers qualify for the offer.

Applicability: Ensure the offer is relevant to the customer.

Suitability: Verify that sending the offer is in the best interest of the customer.

Contact Policies: Set rules to manage the frequency and timing of emails to avoid over-communication.

Implement AI-Driven Actions:

Use the Next-Best-Action strategy framework to select actions (e.g., sending emails) based on the AI model's recommendations.

Configure treatments (email content) and channels (email) within the Next-Best-Action Designer.

Monitor and Adjust:

Continuously monitor the performance of the campaign using Pega's analytics and adjust the strategy as needed to optimize engagement and response rates.

Creating segments for each email seems like a lot of work, but I guess option D could help target the right audience. I'm just not sure if it's necessary to have three separate schedules.

I feel like option C could work too, but I'm not entirely confident about the wait times. We practiced something like that, but I can't recall the exact details.

I remember we discussed how the always-on approach allows for more dynamic engagement, but I'm not sure if we should set a primary schedule or let AI handle it.

I'm leaning towards option A. Setting up a primary schedule for the original offer email and then an ad-hoc or emergency schedule for the reminders seems like a straightforward way to replicate the existing campaign structure. The AI-driven approach in option B is intriguing, but I'm not sure if it will capture the nuances of the original timing.

Option D sounds interesting, creating separate segments and schedules for each email. That way I can have full control over the timing and targeting. I'll have to think through the logistics of managing three different schedules, but it could be a robust solution.

This seems like a straightforward scenario to implement using the always-on outbound approach. I'd probably go with option B and configure the primary schedule to run daily, letting the AI handle the best actions based on engagement policies.

Hmm, I'm a bit unsure about this one. The traditional campaign had specific timings for the offer and reminders, so I'm not sure if the daily schedule in option B would capture that. Maybe option C with the flow of 3 Send Email shapes would be a better fit to replicate the original timing.

Wait, I'm a bit confused. Does the Scrum Team include users or customers? I thought they were involved in the process, but maybe not officially part of the Scrum Team. I'll have to double-check the Scrum guide to be sure.
