Bank marketing has undergone radical changes in the past several decades and the financial services sales process has experienced a similar transformation. Both have been influenced by one thing more than any other—the customer’s behavior. Because the customer is more knowledgeable, has more tools at their disposal and is in greater control, marketing must collaborate more effectively with sales if the bank expects to sustain long term growth and profitability.
Designed by bankers and those with in depth knowledge of our industry, this program pinpoints key marketing strategies that drive profitability — from the customer experience and branding to prospecting, sales management and the ROI of marketing plans.
Students experience a blend of lecture, small group discussions and breakout sessions. — and leave the school with a Marketing Planning Template for the coming year that adds real-world value to the experience.
The faculty is comprised of best in class bankers and consultants – experts who bring time tested ideas to the table implemented by community banks, regional players and money center organizations. Networking with other bankers from around the world creates a lifetime of new relationships and the information exchanged from both faculty and students is second to none.
Veteran marketing, sales and business development officers as well as those newly promoted or new to banking will benefit from this powerful program. Community bank CEOs, regional sales managers, retail managers and business banking professionals also gain a better understanding of marketing synergies needed to be competitive.
GSB encourages banks to send more than one person to the school so that marketing professionals can better collaborate with sales leaders to enhance company performance through a unified effort focused on the customer. If your bank chooses to send multiple students, you will receive a rebate of $350 per additional registration – that’s essentially a free registration fee for second and subsequent registrations, and will be paid at the conclusion of the school in the form of a rebate.
