| Consultant - Data Mining | Ran a series of complex statistical analysis procedures against corporate invoices to determine the likelihood that when marketing felt two products should be sold together they were. When companion products were split on two invoices sometimes it was because the sales team knew the cost for both products exceeded the buyer's spending limit. The opportunity here is to examine the pricing model for the two products, which often spanned product lines, to see if bundling the products at a lower price was offset by reducing sales expense. Another case was when two products were sold on separate invoices because the sales force didn't know they went together. Here is an opportunity to reduce sales and administrative expense and increase customer satisfaction through training. | Digital |
