Buoy 6 Acquisition Strategy and Exit Strategy

The End Game

This video shows the Buoy 6 Acquisition Strategy.

Note: I designed Driveline to be integrated with AI at every customer and TTM interaction. The following videos demonstrate ChatGPT interactions that were trained on on data from the SMS threads. In addition, I also trained it on our marketing messages, brand promise, and a video of DSJ talking about the difference between a Call Center and a Sales Center. The AI generated responses are excellent.

I also asked ChatGPT to analyze the data in the SMS threads, categorize the most common themes, and generate scripts that maximize helpfulness, empathy, and brand elements. In addition, I asked it to iterate until each script was a 10 out of 10 in these areas. The AI can also learn from every interaction, so it can continuously optimize through experience.

Note: I put this demo together in three days. This includes the time it took me to learn how to do this. I didn’t tune anything in terms of the text outputs or tone, but I did speed up a few videos a bit too much. Everything can be improved.

Job Confirmation: Automatically text all jobs for today to confirm and reduce cancellations.

Opportunity Reschedule: Customer would like to reschedule the job. Driveline can handle this now but it requires a human to push a button.

Proximity Welcome Pull 1: Driveline knows where the trucks are now and where all future jobs are located. This allows us to automatically pull jobs and dynamically discount based on proximity.

Manager escalation: Customer would like to talk to a manager.

Proximity Welcome Pull 2: Another example of a Proximity Pull. This was the first one I setup. I improved the training after this.

I wanted to test what would happen if the customer request wasn’t in the training data. In this scenario, the truck team left the door open and the pet dog (Coco) escaped. I asked GPT to maximize helpfulness, so the reply is a little long. This is a perfect response.

Cancel Save: Prevent cancellations by identifying the reason for the cancellation and offering solutions like rescheduling, pricing, and explaining benefits of 1-800-GOT-JUNK.

Adding items: Giving neighbor approval to let in the TTMs and approve the job.
