Upsell Opportunity

Data Dictionary

Objective:

Detect phrases in the conversation that indicate a potential upsell moment—such as when a customer’s interest or needs hint at upgrading their current plan, adding premium features, or purchasing related products. The tracker returns occurrences of matched phrases, timestamps, and confidence, enabling teams to understand how often these cues appear.

Proposed JSON Schema:

{
  "trackers": [
    {
      "name": "Upsell_Opportunity",
      "matches": [
        {
          "text": "<string>",
          "timestamp": "<ISO 8601 or relative time>",
          "confidence": <number> // 0.0 to 1.0
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Determining Confidence & Thresholds

How the Upsell_Opportunity Tracker Works:

• Seed the tracker with phrases that suggest offering an upgrade or additional product/service (e.g., "Would you like to upgrade?", "We have a higher-tier option," "You might be interested in our premium plan").
• The system interprets these seed phrases and identifies similar statements in the transcript.
• Confidence indicates how clearly the detected phrase represents a chance to upsell.

Confidence & Calibration:

• Initial Testing: Validate on known calls to ensure detected phrases genuinely represent upsell moments.
• Refine Phrases: Add or remove seed phrases to capture evolving product lines, promotions, or sales strategies.
• Thresholding: Downstream consumers can filter out low-confidence matches if necessary.
• Stakeholder Feedback: Incorporate sales leadership or compliance input to refine criteria and ensure ethical, relevant upsell opportunities.

Prompt Construction & Instructions

Role Specification & Reiteration:

• Present the system as a “highly experienced assistant” identifying upsell opportunities.

No Hallucination:

• Only detect upsell-related phrases if supported by transcript evidence.
• If uncertain, assign a lower confidence or omit matches.

Strict Formatting:
