•14 year old Financial Marketing Company
•Principals have spent a majority of their careers in the financial services and marketing industries

relationship to be transactional rather than relationship driven

Need to Engage Beyond Transactions

• Leverage branch and digital channels to engage customers in more meaningful ways
• Turn those engagements into selling opportunities

Engagement Means Sales• Gallup research “customers that are fully
engaged represent an average 23% premium in terms of share of wallet, profitability, revenue, and relationship growth.”

Content Will Engage
• Creating and distributing relevant and valuable content to engage customers.
• Moving that engagement into more life events to start dialogues and provide solutions.

present value per sale of $2000 (deposit, loan, mortgage, investment, insurance, etc.) the value of 1 sales appointment is $660
