(ON DEMAND) Branch Transformation: Strategies for Moving from Transaction Centers to Customer Engagement Centers

Email to order Recording + Free Digital Download

Significant discussions are ongoing about the future of the physical branch. Some recommend converting branches into automated self-service transaction centers. Others suggest lobby makeovers akin to upscale hotels or coffee bars. But none of these options address the fundamental question: what compelling reason does a customer or prospect have to come into the branch in the first place?

The advance of the virtual branch – and the ability of customers to transact at a time and place of their choosing – have severely reduced branch traffic. With negative PR dissuading banks from closing low performing branches, it is time to consider a new paradigm and reexamine the root issue. The key is engagement: creating reasons for customers and prospects to interact with the institution, both online and in person. Join this content-rich session to learn specific strategies for an engagement-driven branch service model that will integrate into and augment your virtual branch services.

This webinar will cover the warning signs and provide practical hands-on training methods that have worked for other financial institutions. The focus will be on the types of transactions that allow abusers to gain financial control over senior citizens. This illuminating session will include examples and best practices.
