We help Banking and Investments enterprises navigate digital change, optimize omni-channel go-to-market® strategies, and connect with customers on a deeper level.
Financial services customers today are overwhelmed by choice and complexity. Meeting their needs and guiding their financial future starts with radical audience-centricity—knowing what needs, wants, and moments of truth drive buyer decisions, and using a combination of voice-of-the-customer programs and digital listening to improve customer experiences.
Many established financial services firms remain tethered to complex legacy operations from the back end all the way to the front lines—while fintechs disrupt at will, building fresh from the ground up. But bigger firms have an untapped advantage. By leveraging oceans of customer data, analytics can increase innovation speed, and deliver richer, more tailored customer experiences. We help identify friction points, buying signals, and attrition warnings to drive agile conversion and retention programs.
Balancing a multitude of direct and indirect selling channels–wholesalers, internal sales, advisors, agents, and direct-to-consumer initiatives–is a big challenge. Unmanaged channel conflict, whether internal or in the market, hurts efficiency and pushes buyers away. We combine a deep understanding of financial services channels with rigorous, proven methodologies for optimizing coverage to create more efficient, more effective go-to-market schemas.
With limited insight into which cross-sell opportunities were worth their selling manager’s time, our client wanted an in-depth look at their installed base of more than 30,000 mid-market customers. Who were the high-propensity cross-sell buyers, and how could an indicator be triggered to the relationship and account managers for immediate action?
