The present invention relates to a system and methods for automated discount recommendations, and more specifically relates to a. system and method for automated discount recommendations based on business scenario and indirect user response.
Multiple companies have been operating in the same field nowadays. Thus there is huge competition in the market. The companies have to Even with a slight delay in making the decision, results in loss of the sales deals. If there is a large company, then it is also difficult to make a decision quickly. Some it is difficult to find under performance of sales representative and factor affecting sales representative performance. Thus ultimately the sales target of a particular sales representative does not achieve.
This also very challenging to quote best sale price to the customer. Sales representative have to quote price that encourages customer to close the deals and at the same provide good profit to company. But there is no existing solution to move a step further by assisting the business with an optimum price of the deal which would not only increase the chances of winning but also would ensure profitability based on the historical records of won deals
Patent application US2020/134683A1 discloses computing systems, database systems, and related methods are provided for guiding a user defining a quote for a product. One method involves a server obtaining one or more values for one or more attributes of a quote from a client device coupled to the server over a network, obtaining an expected pricing model for the quote from a database, determining expected pricing information for the quote based on the one or more values for the one or more attributes using the model, and providing a graphical indication of the expected pricing information on the client device. The expected pricing model is determined based on historical relationships between quote attributes and price for previously-closed quotes.
The existing invention does not provide proper optimized quote. The existing invention does not look into the interaction history and customer response. This is within the aforementioned context that a need for the present invention has arisen.
