BFSI Sales App

A Leading Private Bank
Increases Sales Conversions by 26% with this Sales App

Problem Statement

Branch heads across the country were assigning leads to their field sales representatives based on the pincode mapping of the representatives. This led to unoptimized sales operations as outside sales agents from multiple branches were assigned to the same pincode. The bank was looking for a system to simplify lead allocation, reduce longer lead actioning time, and boost customer conversions.

Overview

The customer is one of India’s leading private sector banks with over 6,000 branches across the country. The bank wanted to increase their customer acquisition and improve sales conversions.

Process

Research and Analysis

Our team conducted thorough research to understand the current lead allocation process and the challenges faced by field sales representatives in the BFSI sector. We interviewed branch heads, sales representatives, and customers to gather insights into the pain points and opportunities for improvement. We also analyzed the existing pincode mapping system and its limitations.

Ideation and Concept Development

Based on our research findings, we brainstormed ideas for an AI-powered field sales software that would streamline lead allocation, optimize sales operations, and improve customer conversions. We focused on leveraging AI algorithms for intelligent lead assignment based on factors such as proximity, sales representative performance, constant follow-ups and customer preferences.

Information Architecture, user journeys…

We conducted a design thinking Session involving stakeholders from the bank, including branch heads, sales representatives, and IT personnel. Together, we defined user personas, mapped out user journeys, and identified key features and functionalities for the software. This collaborative approach ensured that the software would meet the needs and expectations of all stakeholders.

Wireframing and Prototyping

Using the insights gathered from the design thinking workshop, we created wireframes and prototypes of the field sales software. The design focused on a clean and intuitive user interface, with features such as lead dashboard, intelligent lead allocation, route optimization, real-time updates, and performance analytics. We iterated on the prototypes based on feedback from stakeholders.

User Testing and Iteration

We conducted user testing sessions with branch heads and sales representatives to gather feedback on the usability and functionality of the software. We observed how users interacted with the system, identified pain points, and iterated on the design to address any usability issues. This iterative process helped us refine the software for optimal user experience.
