32 Suggests Approved Actions To Activate Hidden VM Revenue SAMPLES Low Callback Rate Compared To Industry Average Low Deposit Rate Short Deposit Messages Low Stimulated Call Rate Recommended actions: change in call-flow of Messaging Application changes in the workflow of the messaging applications can have significant impact on the success of messaging services as the following examples demonstrate: Performed change: Callback/Call Return shuffled to first option after listening to message Operator 1 400% increase in call volumes Operator 2 70% increase in call volumes in week 1 Operator 3 significant increase in call volumes, but more difficult to measure because the callback as first option was introduced for prepaid Recommended action: increase the mailbox personalization rate by marketing campaign because people are more likely to deposit a message if a mailbox is personalized Recommended action: increase personal greeting rate by educating customers because messages are likely to be 12 seconds longer than average if there is a personal greeting Stimulated call rate is under 1%. Recommended action: send caller ID because stimulated call rate rises as people like to know who called them and/or offer special rates for indirect callbacks Messaging Intelligence - SAS Forum 2006 / Geneva 5/18/2006 Page 32
