Video Boiler Quotes For British Gas

British Gas faced a significant challenge with traditional boiler appointments, which incurred high costs due to low conversion rates and the expense of sending engineers to customers' homes. To address this, we trialled a new approach: placing engineers in a call centre to provide quotes via FaceTime, supported by an online booking journey. As the Scrum Master, I played a critical role in building the digital journey and supporting the successful trial, which was later launched nationwide.

    • Created a seamless online booking journey that allowed customers to schedule video consultations easily and receive quotes in real-time.

    • Supported the successful trial by integrating customer feedback and analytics, refining the journey to meet customer expectations.

    • Rolled out the solution nationwide, reducing operational costs while increasing conversion rates and customer satisfaction.
