The Fifth Elephant 2016

We look at the various stages of a sales/marketing funnel, and see how data science can be used to improve effectiveness of the processes, understand what the customer wants, and discover new ways of engagement in each stage. We discuss the statistical models, the business metrics they drive, and share real life examples from our experience.

Outline

This is a tech + business talk. We will look at various stages of a marketing/sales funnel (awareness, interest, purchase, post-puchase experience and loyalty) and examine statistical models that work for each stage.
