Challenge Description
A majority of Quicken Loans’ business comes from team members calling customers, understanding their needs, and providing mortgage solutions. We always seek to amaze our clients and an important part of doing that is by reaching out to our clients to establish a relationship while also being respectful of their time. Using the provided Quicken Loans communications data, you will explore this relationship and develop a call schedule model that suggests when/how frequently to contact the client in order to provide them the best possible experience.
Timeline and Format
At the beginning of the challenge on Monday, March 29, students will receive a pre-cleaned dataset from Quicken Loans. They will seek to answer the provided questions and deliver a powerpoint (and optionally a codebase) by EOD Thursday, April 1. Students will briefly present to our panel of judges on Friday, April 2, and results will be announced on the following Monday. Judges (QL & MIDAS) will use a pre-defined rubric to grade the submissions objectively.
