THE PROBLEM
Client, a InsureTech player in the consumer space, uses telemarketing to reach out to its potential leads. However, the telemarketing conversion rate was very poor (0.18%). Hence, the client partnered with us to enhance the conversion rate by leveraging data science.
INXITE OUT APPROACH
Data Understanding and Feature Selection
