Customer relationships and retention

In YESIF, «Customer relationships and retention» is a department of AI agents whose mission is to get customers to adopt, continue and expand their relationship with the company.

Like every YESIF department, it has a coordinator, a council of 4 roles (constraints and finance, context, competitors and role models, goals) plus a synthesis, specialists that work in parallel waves, and routines on a schedule. Only sending, publishing, deleting, spending and payments wait for a person's «Approve».
