Match-Maker Ventures (MMV) announced today a strategic partnership with PicUP, the AI-powered optimization and personalization platform for outbound sales and CX calls. Through this partnership with the industry-agnostic high-growth tech company, Match-Maker Ventures will enable telecom and financial services companies to digitalize and optimize their outbound customer calls like never before, boosting sales efficiency and increasing conversion through interactive, enjoyable customer call journeys.
“In the digitalizing world, it is paramount for corporates to leverage all channels at their disposal to maintain customer attention and engagement,” said Match-Maker Ventures Chief Growth Officer Björn Schättgen. “While other channels like apps and web interfaces are digitally optimized, the medium of calls has been largely left behind, failing to meet consumer expectations of modern user experience. PicUP changes that: with personalized call screens to give customers a branded, convenient, digitalized experience, PicUP is truly the future of calling. We are excited to partner with PicUP and help them to expand their market presence because we are convinced that any corporate looking to achieve real omnichannel customer experience and improve their outbound communication would receive extensive benefits from this powerful solution.”
MMV will serve as a strategic partner for PicUP’s market expansion through its HQ expertise and the help of its network of 130+ senior industry experts around the world.
“Our goal at PicUP is to transform phone channel communications by adding personalized digital layers to the voice channel,” said PicUP CEO Lior Shacham. “We have already proven that telcos, financial services companies, insurers and other B2C companies can boost their sales, improve their contact center efficiency, and dramatically improve customer experience by calling their customers with digital, branded & personalized messages based on our smart AI-based platform. We are excited to kick off this partnership with Match-Maker Ventures, who will enable us to bring our top-tier calling experience to more leading brands around the world. With their global network and industry expertise, they are the ideal partner to enable our growth in our target markets.”
The solution offered by PicUP will complement MMV’s growing portfolio of technology solutions in the telecommunications and financial services industries, which is already enabling corporates around the world to innovate through the power of collaboration.
