SoFi: The Leading FinTech Brand That Keeps Innovating
SoFi was founded in 2011 with the goal of offering better financial terms for student loans and student loan refinancing. The company has since expanded its offering to a comprehensive series of financial products, all while avoiding staffing and maintaining of brick & mortar branches. Today you could use SoFi for your whole financial life as it offers savings and checking accounts, credit cards and rewards, personal and home loans, credit monitoring, trading and investing, and insurance products.In 2021 SoFi became a publicly traded company, and in 2022 it was granted approval by federal regulators to become a national bank. This meant SoFi could stop relying on third-party banks for its products, thereby reducing its cost of capital. Good news for SoFi members that now get better terms across the product suite.SoFi never stops innovating to improve the lives of their members.

How to connect with more prospects over the phone?
SoFi had been a Nice InContact customer, and for customer support the contact center platform was doing what it was designed for. However, for Kevin's sales motion it was missing fundamental functionalities which prevented his team from being able to test and iterate on calling strategies.
Kevin wanted a phone tool that was fully integrated with SoFi's marketing stack (Particle and Braze), and most importantly, to allow for calls and text conversations with customers triggered by their behavioral data.
SWITCHING FROM A CUSTOMER SUPPORT TOOL TO A SALES PLATFORM
Critically, they were now able to experiment around launching these based on customers' real time actions.
Instead of running a CV and giving it to a support team to call haphazardly, the SoFi team quickly used Regal to create personalized call tasks for high intent segments of website visitors, who started their student loan refinancing request, but ran into blockers. This ensured customers would be reached in real time, when the student loan was top of mind and they had not yet visited competitors.
In addition, the SoFi team would historically call customers from unbranded numbers, as most businesses do (for lack of available solutions). Regal allowed the team to use branded caller ID on cellphones, sharing plenty of data about potential success. Particularly, for high intent prospects who were considering SoFi's offer during those very moments (but did not submit their application), getting a real time call from a "SoFi" branded caller ID proved to move the needle.
The results of the new treatment were dramatic. Within a single quarter the answer rate increased by an incredible 66% (from 15% to 25%), which led to a strong 5% lift in overall conversion.
