Case Study: Leading Telecommunications Company slashes customer acquisition costs and shortens sales cycle with Blueocean Market Intelligence

Large telecom services provider reduced sales cycle time and cost of sales through social media leverage

Leading Telecomminications Company engaged Blueocean Market Intelligence to reduce sales cycle time and cost of sales by leveraging social media analytics. The telecom’s challenge was to listen to all conversations, overlay demand spaces, identify direct and indirect leads, and classify those leads as hot, warm, or cold to improve customer acquisition and retention.

Blueocean Market Intelligence deployed a customized listening engine and a four‑stage lead generation and qualification process (Listen, Assess, Nurture, pass to Sales), delivering daily leads and monthly actionable reports while engaging hot leads and nurturing warm/cold prospects. The program cut cost per acquisition to $5 versus $30 with traditional media, automated lead qualification to shorten the sales cycle, improved customer service metrics (higher FCR and CAST, lower AHT and churn), and generated competitive and marketing insights adopted into new business development.
