Mobivox started as a consumer service to improve the telephone calling experience, and now is launching a customer relationship management platform to improve the way businesses interact with their customers.  In this presentation from the 2009 Emerging Communications Conference, Peter Diedrich of Mobivox describes the way their new voice CRM platform allows companies to seamlessly introduce sales and customer retention messages into conversations with their customers.

Most customer relationship messages are done through outbound sales and survey calls or through email and snail mail.  In contrast, the Mobivox platform allows companies to take advantage of the inbound calls customers make to handle things like billing, adjustments, and account inquiries.  Inserting targeted messages ranging from simple a "thank you" to up-selling or referrals improves customer retention and reduces costly churn.  The goal of the platform is to educate, promote, and convert customers in a natural, comfortable way.
