Transforming Pricing and Selling in the Telecommunications Industry

Growth in a Hypercompetitive Industry 

The telecom industry is a highly saturated, hypercompetitive space where growth has typically come from winning customers from competitors through often unsustainably low prices. Today, however, telcos are realizing that in order to grow ARPU (average revenue per user), reduce churn, and gain new customers, they must focus on two key initiatives: 

1. Improving the omni-channel customer experience across B2C, Triple-Play, and B2B markets 

Telcos can improve the customer experience by offering simplicity and transparency in pricing; offering an optimal price and quote, for the right offering(s) to the right customer(s), at the right time; providing flexibility in contracts; personalizing and optimizing the buying experience.  

2. Creating new services and revenue streams — especially for the B2B market   

To launch new offerings (i.e. non-traditional wireless services powered by 5G, IoT, etc) profitably and quickly, telcos must determine optimal prices despite not having price history, by considering customer willingness -to -pay, pricing strategies, and market trends. Telcos must also ensure that their pricing strategies are efficiently, effectively, and systematically executed across all channels.  Finally, telcos must be able to quickly leverage data to evaluate, learn, and modify offerings to stay ahead of the competition.  

By digitally transforming their businesses leveraging AI-powered analytic, pricing, and digital selling solutions, telecom companies will achieve unmatched growth and ultimate customer satisfaction.
