Sales Campaign Effectiveness
Customer Success Story
Fusion Mobile transformed their unlimited family plan launch from underwhelming results to 78% increased activations using excom.ai/telco's campaign intelligence platform - all without increasing their marketing budget
The Campaign Paradox
Marketing Director Jennifer Thompson faced a puzzling situation: after $1.8 million in marketing spend, their unlimited family plan was converting at just 2.1% - less than half the industry average. Customer research had shown strong demand, focus groups were enthusiastic, and beta testing was positive.
The disconnect was stark. They had the right product for the right market, yet the campaign was failing dramatically. This wasn't a product problem - it was a fundamental issue with how, when, and where they were reaching customers.
The Challenge
Product Launch Crisis - Month 2 Review
- New unlimited family plan showing poor adoption rates
- Campaign budget fully deployed with minimal ROI
- Marketing team unable to identify why messaging wasn't resonating
- Executive pressure to justify marketing spend and improve results

The Transformation Story
What High-Response Customers Experienced
"I kept seeing ads for unlimited plans everywhere, but the one on Instagram actually showed me I'd save $180 a month for my family of four. It broke down exactly what I'd pay versus my current plan. Finally, an ad that actually helped me understand the value!"
Customer Maria Rodriguez, Age 32, Mother of 2
What the Marketing Team Experienced
