4 Ways AI Can Boost Commercial Excellence

Commercial excellence is a critical driver of growth and profitability. Companies that excel in commercial capabilities outperform their peers significantly. Research by McKinsey shows that businesses with superior commercial capabilities achieve 1.9 percentage points higher revenue growth and 4.7 percentage points higher margin growth compared to industry averages.  

In today’s competitive landscape, commercial excellence isn’t optional; it’s a strategic imperative. And now, artificial intelligence (AI) is emerging as a game-changer, enabling organizations to optimize processes, personalize customer engagement, and unlock new revenue streams. 

4 Ways AI Can Boost Commercial Excellence

1. Smarter Customer Segmentation and Targeting  

AI-driven analytics can process vast datasets to identify high-value customer segments and predict buying behaviors. This enables businesses to tailor offerings and marketing strategies with precision, improving conversion rates and customer lifetime value. 

Example: Evalueserve utilized tailored AI algorithms to support a multibillion-dollar logistics provider with customer segmentation, churn prediction and reduction, and lifetime value forecasting. This resulted in a ~$1 million improvement in operating income and identified another ~$52 million in opportunities 

2. Dynamic Pricing and Revenue Optimization 

AI algorithms can continuously monitor market conditions, competitor pricing, and customer willingness-to-pay to recommend optimal pricing strategies. This dynamic approach helps companies maintain competitiveness while maximizing margins. 

Impact: Our AI-driven pricing models deliver a 10% improvement in bottom-line through productivity gains and value-based pricing, 6% increase in customer wallet share, and 40% increase in efficiency. 

3. Enhanced Sales Productivity Through Automation

AI tools automate repetitive tasks such as lead qualification, proposal generation, and CRM updates, freeing sales teams to focus on relationship-building and closing deals. AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants also streamline customer interactions, reducing response times and improving satisfaction. 

Impact: Our domain experts utilize AI-powered strategy insights to help clients reduce sales cycle time by 55%, increase customer retention rates by 10%, and improve lead quality by 35%.  

4. Advanced Forecasting and Decision Support

AI enables real-time forecasting by analyzing historical trends, market signals, and external factors. This helps commercial leaders make data-driven decisions on inventory, promotions, and resource allocation, reducing risk and improving agility. 

Example: Evalueserve helped a leading pharmaceutical enterprise reduce errors by ~40% by developing an AI-enhanced forecasting model. This model more accurately predicted sales forecasts and generated interactive visualizations that empowered leadership to make critical investment decisions.  

Conclusion

Commercial excellence has always been about aligning strategy, execution, and customer-centricity. With AI, businesses can elevate these principles to new heights—driving growth, improving margins, and staying ahead in an increasingly dynamic market.
