Deployed online or via the mobile channel, the Micronotes process is an alternative to online advertising with fast automated interviews that engage customers in a brief question and answer session designed to personalize cross-sell offers. Initial targeting is accomplished using data analytics, retargeting is based on individual interview responses.

When customers log on, they are identified and served a qualified interview. After three questions, or about 10 seconds, customers are made an offer that contemplates all previous interview responses. If a customer chooses an offer, the order is either fulfilled online or the lead and interview notes are automatically transferred to the front line for direct follow-up. Micronotes generates 10 times the number of qualified leads compared to typical online advertising methods and drives engagement, cross sales and retention.

"Consumers are migrating to online and mobile en masse and financial institutions are making significant investments in these channels and expecting a return on those investments," said Ken Patrick, senior vice president, Revenue Enhancement Solutions, Fiserv.
