The Full Story

The Situation

PiggyBank* knew the relative economic position of its customers, but didn't know how to use this knowledge to improve the bottom line.

PiggyBank had seen a recent decline in performance. Its executives wanted to improve profitability through better customer management.

Our Recommendations
