  1. Using Information to Build Customer Value Fleet’s Investment in Information-Based Marketing Randall B. Grossman(Randall_B_Grossman@Fleet.com) October 28, 1998 Boston College

  2. Agenda • Context: Fleet and the Evolution of Marketing in Banking • Deciding on a Strategic Investment in Technology: The Business Case • Fleet’s Investment in Marketing Technology and Skills • How We are Using the New Capability: Fleet’s Retail Strategy and its Use of Information-Base Marketing

  3. Context

  4. A Little Bit About Fleet Today • Fleet Financial Group, headquartered in Boston, is: • A $102 billion diversified financial services company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE:FLT). • Fleet's lines of business include: • Retail banking • Consumer Lending • Small business banking • Credit Card lending • Student loans • Mortgage banking • Private Banking and Trust services • Investment management / Mutual Funds • Discount brokerage • Insurance brokerage • Commercial banking • Corporate finance • Government banking • Commercial real estate finance • Asset based lending • Specialized lending (sports lending, high technology, etc.)

  5. The Retail Business at Fleet: Scope and Scale • 6.2 million customers in traditional geographic footprint • New England, New York, New Jersey, and Florida. • 7.0 million additional customers in recently acquired national consumer businesses • 400,000 small business customers • 20% market share of New England deposits • 26% market share of New England small business customers • 42% of Fleet Financial Group’s net income.

  6. The Retail Business at Fleet:Scope and Scale ATMs : 2400 machines, including 900 at remote sites Branches: 1200 outlets in 8 states Online Services : 85,000 active customers Telephone : 80 million calls per year

  7. The Challenge • By late 1995, Fleet had successfully grown to become the Northeast’s largest retail bank (outside NYC): • The question on analysts’ lips: “How will Fleet leverage this presence to build revenue?” • At the same time, research was teaching us three lessons: • Nearly half of our customers were unprofitable; almost 20% are very unprofitable. • Balances are only loosely correlated with profitability. • Demographics are even more poorly correlated with profitability. Yet, our marketing efforts remained product-oriented and focused on response rates and volume generated, not customer profitability

  8. Fleet’s Response to this Challenge Was Threefold • Invest in developing alternative channels, to meet the evolving needs of the customer base: • PC and Web banking. • Telephone banking. • Restructure Retail Banking to integrate the channels in one organization: • Manage to a multi-channel distribution model optimized around customer needs and behavior. • Invest in information-based marketing to provide the information to manage the customer base profitably. • Create the ability to look at an integrated view of the customer . . . • . . . With sufficient “granularity” to permit the data to be cut any way analytical needs require. • Build the skills and staff to use the new capability. The third element is the one we will discuss today.

  9. Banks Have Been Undergoing Two Decades of Change 1980 1995 • Regulated Era • All banks sell the same thing: bank products. • Glass-Steagal strictly interpreted. • Product Era • Monoline specialists emerge: • Credit cards. • Mutual funds. • Banks introduce investment products: • Mutual funds and discount brokerage. • Increasing, marketing is organized around products: • The product management model. • Product features proliferate • Needs-Based Era • Products and product bundles become tuned to customer needs: • Features are fine-tuned to match usage and customer needs. • Single-product and bundled product offerings targeted to customer preferences. • Channel and product become intertwined. • Banks become true financial services providers: • Full range of products available. • Offers tuned to customer needs.

  10. Pricing Is Emerging as a Critical Tool for Profitability Management Product Management Regulated Products Needs-Based Products 1980 1995 • Regulated Era • Rates are regulated; with minor exceptions there is little difference among institutions. • “3-6-3” • Rate Competition Era • Rate competition emerges: • Rates become the featured item. • Product profitability erodes as interest margin is reduced. • Fees replace interest margin as the focus for revenue: • Customer and consumer activists’ suspicions piqued. • Monolines exploit this in credit card. • Volumes remain the focus of marketing. • Price Differentiation Era • Product and customer profitability puts spotlight on pricing: • Price elasticity becomes a key variable • Segment-based pricing emerges. • Product features, channel availability, and pricing jointly determined. • Relationship pricing becomes quantitatively based: • Lifetime profitability measurement. • Profit potential versus actual.

  11. The Channels Through Which We Sell and Service Customers Have Expanded Product Management Price Competition Regulated Products Regulated Pricing Needs-Based Products Price Differentiation 1980 1995 • Branch Banking Era • Branches are the sole sales and service vehicle . . . • . . . Except for commercial customers, who are all served through a relationship manager channel. • Cost Control Era • Alternative delivery introduced to reduce the cost of service: • ATMs. • Telephone customer service. • Small business segregated as a separate business, driven through the branches: • Relationship management approach becomes too costly. • Meanwhile, monoline credit card companies and mutual funds introduce direct mail and telephone sales . . . • Multi-Channel Era • Customer can choose from multiple channels for sales or service: • Telephone sales. • PC Banking • Internet banking • Branches (which become increasingly sales oriented). • ATMs. • Direct mail / direct response. • Channel profitability drives positioning: • Channels oriented toward segments they serve profitably.

  12. Finally, How Customers Expect Us to Speak to Them Is Undergoing a Steady Change Product Management Price Competition Cost Control Regulated Products Regulated Pricing Branch Banking Needs-Based Products Price Differentiation Multi-Channel 1980 1995 • Mass Advertising Era • Mass media advertising the exclusive vehicle for communication: • Newspapers • Television • Radio • Same message to everyone: • “Traditional bank image.” • Goal is to have us in mind when you choose to bank. • Pro-Active Era • Direct marketing (mail) introduced as a means to reach out directly to customers: • Monoline credit card companies the most aggressive. • Segmentation used as a means to vary the message: • Demographics (age, income, wealth, home ownership, etc.) used. • Segments targeted with product offers typically used by those demographics. • Segment-of-One Era • Communications refined to be individual-specific: • Usage and behavioral-based segmentation overlaid on demographics • Customer-specific information, derived from interactions with the customer, drives how we speak to him/her. • Branding increases in importance as means of defining the company to the customer. • Provides the context for one-to-one messages.

  13. These Changes Have Made Financial Services Marketing A Substantially More Difficult Task Needs-Based Product Design Multi-Channel Sales and Service Segment-of-One Marketing Profitability Management

  14. The Key to Information-Based Marketing is to Create a Cycle of Learning IdentifyLikelyTargets External Lists Model Behavior and Profitability Existing Customers Design Tests,Hypotheses Analyze Response And Subsequent Usage Customize Offers By Cell / Segment Execute throughappropriate channels Select And Code Lists

  15. This Learning Cycle Provides the Basis for Improved Profitability • Over repeated promotions, we can develop the knowledge base to understand: • The right product . . . • What service bundles represent the most effective way to meet the needs of our customers. • . . . Offered through the right channel: • How is it that a customer likes to purchase products from us (branch, on-line, phone, relationship manager, etc.) • And what channels does the customer prefer for servicing? • . . . At the right pricing: • What is the tradeoff between rate / fees and response rate (or attrition rate) that maximizes profitability over the lifetime of the customer? • . . . And with the right promotional support: • Do teaser rates work, and how well? • What messages perform best, with what frequency? • All of this optimized by customer segment and -- where possible -- by individual customer: • Using segmentation models and predictive models that allow us to differentiate offers by customer group.

  16. Promotions Over the Past Two Years Illustrate the Power of Information-Based Marketing Example Campaign: NPV Impact $10.00 $8MM $7MM $8.00 $6MM Total NPV NPV per Mktg $ $5MM $6.00 $4MM NPV per Marketing $ Total NPV $4.00 $3MM $2MM $2.00 $1MM $0 $0.00 ($1MM) ($2.00) ($2MM) Mailing 1 Mailing 2 Mailing 5 Mailing 3 Mailing 4 Mailing 6

  17. Fleet Employs Analytical Modeling to Tease Out Insights from Customer Behavior • Types of analysis typically undertaken: • Customer / prospect segmentation: • Identity behavioral, psychographic, demographic, and other attributes that predict channel usage, product / service needs, profitability. • Incorporate total customer relationship and knowledge of customer goals / objectives. • Overlay customer profitability measures to produce segment profitability. • Customer behavior modeling, e.g.: • Next purchase • Attrition • Channel usage. • Marketing lifecycle models: • Acquisition / Cross-sell / Retention • Response analysis: • Channel attribute utility • Product / service attribute utility • Lifetime value models: • Net present value of a customer today. • Likely potential value of a customer. • Pricing management: • Dynamic pricing trade-offs between spread and sales / retention. • Analytics employs tools such as: • Statistical analysis • Linear programming and stochastic modeling • Neural networks • Genetic algorithms • Data visualization • Geographic mapping • Campaign tracking

  18. Customer Behavioral Analysis Plays a Role in Every Area of Marketing Decision-Making • Identification of strategic opportunities: • Understanding which customers are profitable, and which are not -- and why. • Modeling potential customer profitability. • Understanding how customers use our distribution channels, and where opportunities exist for channel usage migration. • Tactical decision-making: • Assessing what the right resource expenditure is for a given customer segment or product. • Developing pricing tactics to maximize portfolio profitability. • Tracking run-off and implementing intervention programs where appropriate. • Modeling attrition and developing early warning systems • Evaluation of program success (and not only direct marketing programs!): • Tracking response by promotion. • Evaluating the incremental effect of different promotional methods in a campaign: • Advertising expenditures, by type. • Branch merchandising. • Branch training and sales efforts. • Direct mail. • Telephone solicitation.

  19. Example: Analysis of Customer Data Highlights Product Flaws 100 90 80 70 60 50 Cumulative Percent of Calls 40 30 20 10 0 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100 Cumulative Percent of Households • Calls taken by live agents in Fleet’s call center: Analysis such as this is helping us pinpoint where we need to set limits in the redesign of our deposit products.

  21. Deciding on a Strategic Investment in Technology: The Business Case

  22. The Fleet Data Warehouse Project • Integration team selected; project begins. • Warehouse and datamarts in production. • Scoping phase completed. • Initial load completed. • Fleet completes merger with Shawmut Bank, announces acquisition of NatWest US. • CDMA organization created to spearhead information-based marketing and customer analysis • Prototype warehouse in operation. 12/95 12/96 12/97 12/98

  23. The Project Was Championed by Two Senior Executives • The project was championed by two senior executives: • Gunnar Overstrom -- Vice Chairman • Bob Hedges -- Managing Director, Retail Banking • At the same time, the industry was abuzz with the power of information-based marketing: • The credit card “monolines” had blazed the trail -- and been rewarded with high multiples. • Influential analysts -- lead among them, Tom Brown -- were writing favorably of the institutions that were embracing information based strategies.

  24. Building a Strong Constituency Was Critical • Principles we followed: • Get the right number of people involved: • Not too many, but not too few either. • Representing a reasonably broad set of interests: • Business lines • Technology • Marketing • Make it the right level: • People who can make a contribution to the discussion. • Nominated by senior managers. • Listen to what they have to say: • They have to see their views reflected in the result. • Take the time to do it right. The #1 reason that data warehouse efforts fail: A visionary built it, and no one used it.

  25. Fleet Conducted a Six-Month “Scoping Phase” DefineFunctionalRequirements DefineNext GenerationImplications UnderstandBusinessNeeds SetPriori-ties Finalize andDistributeRFP 4/24/96(4/22/96) 4/24/96(4/5/96) 3/11/96 4/3/96(3/31/96) RecommendTargetManagementApproach UnderstandCurrentEnvironment RecommendTargetWarehouseArchitectureand Tools 5/17/96(5/10/96) 5/10/96(4/30/96) 2/7/96 4/30/96(4/15/96)

  26. The Scoping Phase Process Business Objective “Next Generation” Implication “Next Generation” Implication Scope/Timing Analysis & Recommendations Functional Requirement Functional Requirement • What are the ambitions of the business given marketplace trends, business goals, competitor positioning, etc.?: • Our starting point, which was reviewed in the first Steering Group meeting • In broad terms, what data and capabilities will be required (e.g., analytical and reporting tools) that will support and enable the business lines in achieving objectives? e.g.: • Support for managing campaign • Targeting of prospective customers based on profit potential and likelihood of purchase • Which “Next Generation” implications should we address, and when?: • Tough decisions will be required that consider business priorities, technical feasibility, etc. • What are the specific capabilities that must be built?

  27. Once There Was Agreement on Scope, We Built the Business Case • Justification is only part of the reason for a business case. The real value comes from: • Showing what people are going to get. • Making it concrete: “Here is what we will do with the information once we have it.” • Putting a stake in the ground, to return to later. • Putting businesses on the hook to get the benefits that were claimed when funding was requested. • Making you think about what you need to be successful. • It is more than just and investment in technology! • Using the technology means: • Hiring people with new skills. • Creating new management processes. • Changing aspects of the culture.

  28. So, How Do You Build A Business Case? • Start by asking: • “What would I do differently if I had better information?” • “What decisions would I make, and what would be the result of making them?” • Then, figure out what that is worth: • Will it make you more efficient? • In what areas, and how much? • Will it help retain profitable customers? • How much of a lift will it provide? How will that be accomplished? • Will it improve our ability to sell (profitably!)? • To what extent? How much? • Can it improve how we manage our customers? • More precise pricing, better product design, better engineered service, etc. Take the time to do it right! This has to be driven by a business manager, because the business, ultimately, must step up to delivering the benefit.

  29. For Fleet, the Payoff Comes From Success in Four Areas • Target marketing efficiency improvement, as a result of: • Disciplined response analysis and iterative application of learning • Segmentation-based direct mail and sales efforts • Targeted list management activities • Data-based sales management and analysis • Pro-active identification of profitable cross-selling opportunities: • Event-triggered sales efforts • Next product to sell modeling • “Segment-of-one” sales and service • Customer loyalty and other retention programs: • Behavior analysis and attrition modeling • Cumulative product usage-based pricing and rewards programs • Management of customer profitability): • Driving product design off of models of customer usage and preferences • Transaction-intensity-driven pricing • Margin optimization through segmented price elasticity • Channel configuration analysis and optimization

  30. Fleet has Targeted Benefits in Each Area of Payback • Year five benefits expected, by category: • Target marketing efficiency $ 3.7 million • Cross-selling $ 20.6 million • Retention $ 19.1 million • Customer profitability management / pricing $ 72.0 million • Most opportunities relate to increasing revenues . . . • Achieving better margins through response analysis. • Selling to -- and retaining -- the most profitable customers. • . . . Though some involve expense savings: • More efficient use of resources through increasingly effective targeting. • Elimination of pricing that encourages excessive transaction use by low value customers, resulting in a migration to lower cost channels and/or a reduction in use.

  31. The Analysis Drew on Several Sources -- Most Already in Existence • Several data sources were employed in developing the analysis of opportunities: • A random sample of 58,000 households from our existing customer database, analyzed by First Manhattan Consulting Group to produce a breakdown of customer and account profitability. • Analysis of the price elasticity of demand for interest checking, savings, money market, and CD deposits. Conducted using Shawmut Bank data for the period 1993-1995. • Current balance sheet and P&L statements for consumer banking, to provide a baseline. • 1997 Plan sales targets and direct marketing expenses. • Results shared by consultants from consulting efforts elsewhere in the banking industry. • Results shared by database marketing colleagues at industry conferences, as well as information obtained from Fleet staff hired from other institutions.

  32. A Cross-Sell Example: What We Would Do Differently If We Had the Data Warehouse • Where the benefit will come from: • Identify which customers are most likely to buy . . . and which are the most profitable products to suggest: • Develop predictive models to identify likely cross-sell prospects, and likely post-sales usage: • The inputs: past promotional response data, existing customer usage data (12 to 36 months history). • Statistical and neural network techniques can be used to: • Predict the likelihood of interest in a particular product, and identify “trigger events” that indicate a new need to be filled (logistic regression models, CHAID analysis, and neural network data mining are all techniques we would use to do this). • Predict likely usage patterns for a product, including channel preference, transaction volume, balances likely to be held, likely life before attrition, etc.. (Multivariate regression and cluster analysis models that predict usage profiles). • Match this with product profitability: • Patterns of usage can be matched with product profitability algorithms to indicate likely profitability of alternative cross-sell options. • Provide the SSR with information to suggest more profitable rather than less profitable products -- and products the customer is likely to buy: • Warehouse feeds can be created to both telephone and platform representatives to provide indicators for cross-selling. • Direct mail campaigns -- with options for mail, branch, or telephone response -- can stimulate interest and traffic from customers most likely to be profitable sales and avoid those least likely to be profitable.

  33. Example: Benefits Calculation Increase Share of Wallet with Top 50% of Household Base Impact ($ millions) 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 Balance Sheet Impact (Year-End) Loans $0.0 $8.2 $32.4 $64.2 $94.0 Deposits 0.0 45.3 172.2 341.6 499.9 P&L Impact Net Interest Income $0.0 $1.2 $4.5 $8.9 $12.9 Fees 0.0 0.2 0.9 1.9 2.7 Expenses 0.0 0.6 2.3 4.4 6.3 Net Contribution before tax $0.0 $0.8 $3.1 $6.4 $9.3 • Many of our low-profit customers are high-profit somewhere else. For 2% of our customers lying in the top half of profitability deciles, increase the number of products purchased per household by one: • Sources • Data source: CDMA database, with customer profitability measures computed by FMCG. The measure is profit before tax. Expenses are fully loaded and transaction based. Customer base is the retail banking footprint, excluding NatWest (4.43 million households). • Assumptions: Market Planning studies indicate that we have captured less than 20% of our customers’ full financial services potential, a figure that is consistent with industry studies. Above benefit assumes that we target customers in the top half of our current profitability distribution, based on predictive models of which customers are likely to have unmet needs and/or existing financial services business at other institutions, achieving a 2% success rate in increasing profitable sales by 1 product per household. Benefit is assumed to be incremental of selling expenses, which are estimated at $150 per account sold.

  34. Of Course, We Can’t Forget the Expense Side of the Equation One thing that worked well for Fleet: having selected the integration team, we worked for 2 months on a time-and-materials letter of intent, while the final workplan and budget were determined. • The cost of building it: • Hardware. • Software. • Integration expense (a.k.a., “consultants”) • Internal technical staff. • Business staff. • The cost of operating it: • Hardware, software maintenance. • Growth in capacity (additional investment). • Technical staff (you’ll need more than a normal system requires; there is constant tuning). • The cost of using it: • Business lines will have to add staff with new skills. • Budget two phases. Put 90% of the value in Phase I (and less than 90% of the cost). Remember, Phase II will never happen. • Make the consulting contract fixed price.

  35. Fleet’s Budget Was $37.7 Million in Capital, With an Incremental Run Rate of $12.4 Million (All figures are in thousands) Phase II Budget approved by the Board of Directors, October 16, 1996. Capital Expense Phase I Total Ramp-up New Dev.

All are ongoing expense.

  36. The Payback for Fleet is Significant: An IRR of 138%; NPV of $90 Million Impact ($ millions) Total Phase I Contribution 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 Balance Sheet Impact Loans $0.0 $14.7 $55.9 $111.4 $164.3 Deposits 0.0 97.3 383.8 791.3 1,199.7 Fixed Assets (Phase I investment) 4.5 13.6 10.6 7.7 4.7 P&L Impact ($0.5) Net Interest Income $5.9 $28.0 $49.8 $65.8 Fees 0.0 1.7 2.1 3.6 4.6 Expenses Benefits-case related 0.0 (3.8) (24.8) (37.6) (43.0) 11.7 9.2 9.5 10.0 10.5 Next Generation operating expense CDMA staff (incremental over 1996 levels) 2.1 5.0 5.5 6.1 6.4 Net Contribution before tax ($14.3) ($2.8) $39.9 $74.9 $96.5 NPV (@18.5%): $90 million IRR: 138% Additional staff skilled in using the technology (database marketing, statistical analysts, DSS analysts, data content analysts): 60 FTE Hardware & software maintenance, technical staff (37 FTE), depreciation, less the cost of systems eliminated by the data warehouse.
