Negotiating a recommendation in Pega Next-Best-Action Advisor
Once the negotiation with the customer starts:
- Pega Next-Best-Action Advisor calls the next-best-action strategy framework through the Retention Bundles container.
- The strategy framework assesses all the subscriptions, and then returns a recommendation for all the subscriptions, as well as other available offers, ranked by propensity.
Pega Next-Best-Action Advisor builds the results into a list of items, and then shows them to the CSR as next best actions.
The list includes structures for the individual subscriptions, the discounts, and the shared subscriptions.
