Research from PwC shows that more than two-thirds of business leaders in the financial services sector “believe they are at risk of losing business to standalone FinTech companies.” This threat is compounded by additional competition from:

  • The emergence of national banking charters from non-depository companies
  • The rise of the $25+ billion marketplace lending platform industry
  • The expansion of financial services available from major companies like Apple, Google, and Amazon

To overcome these challenges retail banks must access the full potential of their service professionals. This group is uniquely positioned to render a dimensional picture of the customer’s needs. This capability outpaces the flat reading of customer needs through fintech data that is “context-blind.” Retail banking professionals are privy to the customer’s concerns, needs, and interests. They have a read on the customer’s tone and emotions. Effective retail banking professionals use this detail to discover unexpected value for customers.

Richardson Sales Performance’s Enhanced Service Through Consultative Sales training programme prepares professionals to deliver on these capabilities by:

  • Executing customer service that rises to the level of a competitive advantage
  • Shifting their mindset to view sales to add additional value to the customer
  • Positioning additional services and products as part of the solution

Richardson Sales Performance’s customization process means that our training addresses the real world, ground level challenges seen in retail banking today.

"The framework of consultative selling and the six critical skills make sense. The programme made you stop and think of what you are saying. Thank you for such a valuable tool.  The scenarios and tools provided by the instructor were great because they can be utilized in a real world setting in front of a client and were helpful." -- Eastern Bank Sales Training Participant
