InfoCision ran a Mystery Envelope Sales Contest in one of its call centers to increase agent productivity. Agents earned an envelope prize for every three sales. Envelopes contained small gifts and prizes. The contest successfully increased average agent talk time by 5% and B2B sales by 25% over three weeks. One client program exceeded its monthly sales goal by 180%. The low-cost, simple contest motivated agents and improved long-term sales performance.

Machine learning algorithms can be used to analyze educational data and find hidden patterns. There are two main types: supervised learning uses labeled data to build models, while unsupervised learning finds hidden structures without labels. The document discusses using hidden Markov models to analyze Piaget balance scale task data and clinical exam data. For the balance data, a 3-state model best fit with age as a covariate, while a 2-state model fit best for the exam data using case ID as a covariate. Next steps involve further exploring hidden Markov models and their potential applications to assessment data.
The document describes an incentive program called the LifeSaver Program created by Incept for their contact center employees (CMEs) who call blood donation programs. The program awards points and bonuses to CMEs based on the types of donors contacted and blood donations secured. CMEs can achieve different LifeSaver levels that provide public recognition for their success in generating blood donations. The program increased key metrics like response rates and revenue per hour for Incept's blood donation clients.
This document discusses using fuzzy clustering algorithms to group students for differentiated instruction. It describes how fuzzy c-means clustering was used to analyze student responses to math problems and assign each student percentages of belonging to different groups based on their response patterns. Three groups were identified: students who answered all problems correctly, students who answered some problems correctly, and students who answered all problems incorrectly or partially. The document concludes that fuzzy clustering shows potential for identifying student groups but has limitations and requires teacher support to be useful for differentiation. Future applications in intelligent tutoring systems are suggested.
Chahine Understanding Common Study ResultsSaad Chahine
This document discusses key concepts for understanding common study results, including:
