First of Its Kind Study by Mattersight Quantifies the Impact of Human Behavior and Personality on Business Outcomes

CHICAGO, IL--(Marketwire - Oct 15, 2012) - Mattersight Corporation (NASDAQ: MATR) today announced the results of a ground breaking Big Data study on the impact of behavioral connections on business outcomes. Using the company's Behavioral Analytics platform to analyze every second of human interaction on an aggregated data set of over one billion interactions, the impact of human behavior and personality on business outcomes has been quantified. Mattersight's proprietary algorithms and patented processes were applied to this data set to identify the following attributes:

• Customer personality and behavioral data
• Agent performance scores
• Customer service, customer attrition, and sales outcomes

This analysis revealed dramatic patterns regarding the impact of behavioral connections on business outcomes, as follows:

Mattersight uses a patented process to assess customer personality and the behavioral connection between customer and employee, and these results highlight the significant importance and impact of these connections. Specifically, when there is a strong behavioral connection as opposed to a weak behavioral connection, Customer Service costs are 35% to 45% lower; Customer Attrition rates are 25% to 50% lower; and Sales Conversion rates are 85% to 230% higher. 

These results highlight the transformational power of analyzing unstructured customer interaction data to identify and understand the variability of customer behavior and employee performance. Mattersight, a leader in enterprise analytics focused on customer and employee interactions and behaviors, works with its customers to use these analytics to create tangible economic value by improving call routing; building models to predict customer behavior; and improving employee performance.
