Telecom AI upselling and cross-selling dashboard showing ARPU lift and churn reduction

Quick Overview

Leading telecom providers leverage AI to analyze customer data (usage, devices, preferences) to identify ideal timing and product offers for upselling (e.g., 4G to 5G upgrades) and cross-selling (e.g., data plans, accessories). AI delivers personalized offers via digital channels tailored to each customer’s likelihood to convert, increasing efficiency, ARPU, and reducing churn.
