The financial services industry faces significant challenges in managing customer experience, including siloed data, legacy business practices, and cultural stagnation. To overcome these obstacles, financial institutions must adopt intelligent engagement management, which involves creating a single customer journey from marketing to sales to post-sale customer experience. This requires engaging prospects and customers with personalized messages at the right time and frequency, delivered through channels that prioritize security. By leveraging data collected across various touchpoints, organizations can create a fully personalized journey that encourages prospects and customers to advance their buying decisions. However, barriers such as constantly shifting customer demands, state of systems, cleanliness and portability of data, and internal handoffs hinder progress. To succeed, financial institutions must combine people, processes, and technology to build a more holistic view of the customer.
