Duration: 40 minutes, plus 10 minutes of Q-and-A
A free webinar brought to you by Prediction Impact and the World Organization of Webmasters (WOW).
Data is your most valuable asset. It represents the entire history of your organization and its interactions with customers. Predictive analytics taps this rich vein of experience, mining it to offer something completely different from standard business reporting and sales forecasting: actionable predictions for each customer.
Each customer's predictive score informs actions to be taken with that customer — business intelligence just doesn't get more actionable than that.
In this informative webinar, Dr. Eric Siegel, president of Prediction Impact, will demonstrate the capabilities of predictive analytics for marketing and web applications. Case studies and a live demo will be included.

Business metrics do a great job summarizing the past. But if you want to predict how customers will respond in the future, there is one place to turn—predictive analytics. By learning from your abundant historical data, predictive analytics provides the marketer something beyond standard business reports and sales forecasts: actionable predictions for each customer. These predictions encompass all channels, both online and off, foreseeing which customers will buy, click, respond, convert or cancel. If you predict it, you own it.
Predictive Analytics for Business, Marketing and Web is a concentrated training program that includes interactive breakout sessions. In two days we cover:
- The techniques, tips and pointers you need in order to run a successful predictive analytics and data mining initiative
- How to strategically position and tactically deploy predictive analytics and data mining at your company
- How to bridge the prevalent gap between technical understanding and practical use
- How a predictive model works, how it's created, and how much revenue it generates
- Several detailed case studies that demonstrate predictive analytics in action and make the concepts concrete
No background in statistics or modeling is required. The only specific knowledge assumed for this training program is moderate experience with Excel.
(The April and May seminars are offered in conjunction with the eMetrics Marketing Optimization Summit.)

A new article published in Microsoft's Midsize Business Center centrally incorporates an interview with Prediction Impact's president Eric Siegel:
Predictive modeling...further refines customer groups into smaller clusters and uses those clusters to predict how customers will respond to future campaigns. Eric V. Siegel, founder of San Francisco-based Prediction Impact, which specializes in predictive analytics, explains the process as follows:
- Compare the patterns that emerged in your initial CRM analysis to the actual response your campaigns received. Who responded and how?
- Identify the most responsive customers—those who contacted you fastest, spent the most, purchased the new product, or whatever criteria your marketing department defines as a successful result.
- Create another campaign with similar messaging, targeted only to this subgroup of customers.
