Retail and consumer-facing businesses are rapidly and dramatically changing. Relying on an experienced sales person with deep knowledge of a customer's preferences is a quaint notion of the past. Increasingly, retailers like CVS, Sam's Club, and Nordstrom, as well as leaders in other consumer-facing industries like financial services, are using advanced analytics, extensive customer data, and sophisticated information technology to craft personalized ""next best offers"" (NBOs).
These NBOs–which are often presented in real time–are customized using data about customers’ preferences and purchases, the specific context, and a company’s goals and offerings.
