Helping Banks Sell, Coach
and
Hire Better for 30 Years
It is more important than ever before that your relationship managers, lenders and frontline personnel are adept at having the right conversations with clients and prospects.

Our Banking Sales Training will help your relationship managers become more skilled at having consultative conversations that revolve around asking the right questions and enough questions. Your bankers will become more skilled and focused on the goal of helping your clients make sound financial decisions for today and the future. Improve your customer experience by investing in consultative sales training for your bankers.
Customized Banking Sales Training Programs
Our Banking Sales Training Approach
All community and regional banks have a unique culture, often tied to the communities they serve. We honor that culture and work closely with senior management to customize a sales training approach that “fits.” It is still entirely possible to have a service mentality and develop bankers to be confident in their ability to probe, listen intently and uncover needs to more fully serve the client. In fact, they must! This is when relationships are built and trust is earned.
We will build a banking sales training approach around your bank’s geographic needs as well as the specific nuances of each business line. We understand the business of banking, and will draw upon our years of experience to customize your program. We will help your relationship managers become the “smart” solution; ready with a consultative approach to uncover a prospect’s needs and assist individuals and companies in making important financial decisions.
