Drift for financial services
Digital transformation has accelerated dramatically over the past three years, forcing almost every industry to rethink their perspectives and interactions with customers. Financial services organizations are struggling to provide their customers with the same convenient experiences they get in retail banking, a problem further exacerbated by increasing competition from fintechs, private equity and other financial services organizations. To overcome these challenges, leading financial services companies use Drift’s online concierge experience, live chat and personalized video tracking to engage with customers from the moment they visit the website.
Leaders such as State Street Global Advisors (SSGA), the asset management arm of State Street Corporation, directed $65M+ in distributions in the 18 months following the implementation of Drift. “We’ve proven that we can significantly reduce time to revenue by allowing our sales team to have that immediate opportunity to speak to a prospect,” said Kate Marksvice president, head of digital learning and transformation program management at SSGA.
Production drift
Demand for digital experiences is high, and in manufacturing these experiences often fall short of customer expectations. It’s even harder to achieve customer satisfaction at scale. Drift gives manufacturing customers the freedom to engage in real-time conversations that display content, answer questions, accelerate accounts and convert qualified buyers into leads.
Drift for drives in production:
- Increased digital engagement through its digital concierge that directs each site visitor to the information they need, when they need it;
- Responsiveness at the moment of highest intent, which generates a more qualified pipeline;
- Increased salesperson efficiency so sales teams can go digital quickly and easily;
- A clearer, real-time view of customers and distributors informed by data.
Roland DG, a manufacturing client, noted that other industries are using chatbots to directly engage their website visitors. The company embraced the trend and today they are able to nurture leads, create a transparent buying experience and drive opportunities directly through Drift. “Drift allows our customers to get to the answer they need faster and shows that we are available to answer their questions at any time,” said Katie Doble-Burchmarketing automation and planning manager at Roland DG.
