Selling Skills for the Bank Environment Masterclass

A two-day selling discipline for bankers — an organised customer process from needs discovery to closed sale and serviced relationship.

The programme

A banker who does not understand the customer cannot defend the relationship — and in a marketplace this competitive, every undefended relationship is revenue waiting to leave. This two-day programme builds an organised process for communicating with customers across the whole development cycle: reading what customers are really seeking from their bank, connecting those needs to specific products and services, presenting features and benefits that land, and handling concerns, objections and resistance through to a completed sale and ongoing service. It sets that craft against the emerging trends in retail banking that are reshaping front-line marketing and sales, including the communication challenges of the social media age. The cohort leaves with practical, bank-specific ways to lift sales performance.
