  • Patent number: 7392221
    Abstract: Methods and systems for identifying and retaining customers who are likely to terminate an existing loan contract at a date earlier than the loan termination date identified in the loan contract are disclosed. The method includes the steps of using an early termination model to identify customers likely to terminate an existing loan contract at a date earlier than the loan termination date identified in the loan contract, notifying those customers of new loan opportunities at competitive loan interest rates and attempting to cross sell new loans to the customers before the customer early terminates their existing loan.

  • Patent number: 7216102
    Abstract: Methods and systems configured to use models to generate customer lists for auctioning are disclosed. The method includes the steps of prompting a user to select at least one of a plurality of customer profiles, calculating a probability for each customer that the customer will respond to a product offer, grouping customers into distinct lists based upon at least one of the selected profiles and calculated probabilities, and prompting product dealers to bid on the customer lists. The auction is a probabilistic auction and participants have access to depersonalized information on prospective customers as well as probabilities that customers will respond.

  • Patent number: 7010495
    Abstract: Method and systems using models for evaluating marketing campaign data in the form of database scores, stored procedures, and OLAP multidimensional structures. Models are used to target segments for marketing. The models are mathematical algorithms that map customer and/or account attributes such as, a customer's propensity to attrite, default on payments, and expected profitability. The method includes the steps of evaluating models using OLAP structures based on campaign drivers, that can segment gains charts to discover where a model is under performing and evaluating models performance over time to discover user defined trends.
