Executive Planning & Sales Training

Executive Planning Session

The opening and operating of an In-Store Branch is a powerful and visible commitment from your institution to expand and improve upon your product delivery system. Your institution will be better able to serve existing customers, while realizing tremendous new opportunities to market and sell. In the ongoing and increasingly competitive battle for market share, your In-Store Branch will play a vital role in solidifying existing customer relationships and attracting new and profitable business.

An FSI Consultant will meet with executive leaders to prepare you for the many decisions and opportunities for operating inside an in-store branch.

The following topics will be addressed:

• Retail RELATIONS: The In-Store Branch's ability to successfully begin and build relationships with these customers determines the success of the In-Store Branch.
• Human Resources: Personnel within these locations must be able to meet and fulfill the duties and requirements of a traditional branch, as well as sustain an aggressive and proactive marketing and sales culture
• IN-STORE SALEs TRAINING REVIEW: Overview and discussion of In-Store Sales Training provided to the in-store team. See description below.
