Our two sessions:
First up was Advanced Customer Acquisition: How to Build a Risk-Based Pricing Strategy with Mitchell Walling our group Vice President, along with two other experts, David Maple from Acquire Interactive and Dan Brandon from Essential Lending. Key discussion points were:
- Risk Based Pricing and its importance to our industry.
- How Lenders are leveraging Risk Based Pricing.
- Implementing Risk Based Pricing and a Risk Based Model.
- Challenges of Risk Based Pricing
Highlights of actionable takeaways:
- Utilize the data you have available by implementing a tool and/or Data Analyst to track performance and establish risk criteria.
- Communicate and collaborate with your partners. Organize a formal feedback loop so partners can influence optimization.
- Establish several risk categories – by segmenting and placing customers into different tiers, do not segment as just good or bad.
- Leverage the latest tools and techniques when it comes to online customer acquisition.
- Always test new strategies. Start with Risk Based Pricing in one state and identify 3 price points.
Next, our Customer Success Manager, Ryan McDonald presented: Underwriting Secrets: Let’s Build a Dynamic Scorecard Together live! Key topics covered were:
- Leveraging your own customer data to segment and route lead traffic in real time.
- Creating custom strategies per customer segment.
- Optimizing underwriting and saving on data costs.
- Creating risk-based acquisition strategies using aggregated customer data points.
Some of the key takeaways that Ryan shared:
- How to identify and direct various customer types to specific strategies within a single configuration.
- Using lead and vendor data to optimize the performance of a waterfall / scorecard at each step of the lead flow.
- How to build a risk-based acquisition strategy leveraging data points from multiple sources.h
