Banks have used automation to remove friction points for customers to great success. However, automation cannot replicate human interaction, which is more important when it comes to making big financial decisions. Banks have addressed convenience and are working on trust, building customers’ confidence comes next. This will require highly-skilled humans, with automation supporting them behind the scenes.
In this session, you will learn:
The importance of emotionally connecting with customers
The role the branch can play in creating these connections
The new tools available to respond to the fast pace changes in the marketplace
This document discusses customer perceptions of banks and restoring trust in the banking sector. It summarizes that banks have struggled in recent years due to issues like mis-selling scandals and the financial crisis. Banks lost sight of prioritizing customers and took their trust for granted. The document recommends that banks look to Mahatma Gandhi's teachings that customers are the most important part of the business.

How banks can win the loyalty of millennialsVipera
This document discusses how to win the loyalty of millennial bank customers. It notes that millennials have the highest spending power but are also less loyal to banks, with 18% switching banks in the last year compared to just 3% of older customers. To attract millennials, banks need to engage customers through digital services, be authentic, offer advice through preferred channels, validate financial decisions, and customize services. Banks can meet these needs by selecting the right engagement channels, offering excellent online and mobile banking, and providing fintech-style services integrated with core offerings to empower customers to save and plan. While millennials may be less likely to visit branches, they are still concerned with personal finances, so banks must adeptly use digital
Advanced self-service capabilities and innovative new business processes are fine and good, but if your employees aren’t buying the concept of tech-driven service delivery, you can be sure they’re not selling it, either.

The document provides details from user research conducted with migrant workers and retailers in semi-urban areas with annual incomes between 1.5-5 lakhs. Face-to-face interviews were conducted to understand their digital maturity, financial inclusion, banking habits, and mobile usage. Most migrant workers had bank accounts in their villages but did not know how to operate them. Cash is commonly stored at home and informal borrowing is normal. Retailers reported an average of 300 customer visits per day and used third-party applications for recharges and money transfers for convenience.

Intent-Based Social Listening: The True Voice of the CustomerBen Shute
Listening for opportunities, feedback and intent across social channels can create the biggest opportunities for your business. Originally presented at Seamless 2018.
The document provides recommendations from Js & Ys Consulting Group for a new hotel brand called Wherewefit. It summarizes research on the target market of travelers under 30 and recommends focusing on low price, downtown location, free high-speed Wi-Fi, self-check-in/out and a large community space. It also recommends promoting the brand on social media, through partnerships and magazines with the tagline "Save Money, Travel Better."
Customer behavior: Emotional vs rational driversCarlos Martin
This document discusses balancing emotional and rational drivers to strengthen customer loyalty. It explores how loyalty programs have evolved from using tokens and stamps to reward loyalty to now using personalization, remarkable experiences, and technology. Data shows the importance of contextually relevant, personalized engagements and experiences. A case study demonstrates how JetBlue strengthened loyalty through an interactive social media campaign that drove engagement and awarded over 1.5 million badges. The document argues for a new approach to loyalty using emotions, experiences, mobility and partnerships to create remarkable experiences that are strategically supported through technology and analytics.
Onboarding has never been more important than it is today. Why? It’s an opportunity for meaningful face-to-face engagement in a digital world where customer relationships are more and more remote. 72% of people will use online banking by 2017 and 43% will use mobile banking (Forrester Research, Trends 2014: North America Digital Banking).
Onboarding is the perfect opportunity to establish the emotional connection that is critical for increasing future sales. Emotional engagement represents a 23% premium for share of wallet compared to average (Gallup Consulting).
For onboarding to set up future sales it needs to establish you as the resource that can provide the help customers need as they face the many financial decisions in front of them. It needs to set you up as the one who can give them the confidence to make decisions that could help them save money and avoid mistakes.
This report summarizes a survey on customer experience. Key findings include:
- 80% of consumers will never return to a company after a negative experience, up from 68% in 2006.
- Outstanding service is the top reason consumers continue and recommend business with a company.
- Consumers are most frustrated when unable to reach a live agent and experience long wait times. Negative experiences can impact behavior and health.
- Companies must engage customers across multiple channels like phone, email, web chat to meet varying preferences.

This document discusses how customer experience is transforming business-to-business selling due to the rise of social media.

The document discusses the impact of the Retail Distribution Review (RDR) which was implemented in the UK two years ago. It overhauled the retail investment market by banning commissions, requiring upfront fees for advice and minimum qualifications for advisers. While it aimed to increase transparency and trust, the RDR has reduced adviser numbers and pushed many to focus only on higher net worth clients. This has led more investors toward self-directed options like online platforms. Overall, the RDR achieved some goals but may have unintentionally made advice less accessible and complicated the landscape for some consumers.
The document discusses the changing landscape of retail banking, as customer expectations and behaviors change with advancing technology. It notes that while branches remain important for some transactions, most customer interactions now occur through digital channels like internet and mobile banking. This poses challenges for traditional banks still relying on outdated systems. The document also discusses new competitors entering banking like payment platforms and peer-to-peer lenders. It argues that banks must improve their omnichannel offerings and use customer data to strengthen relationships in order to retain customers and remain relevant in this evolving environment.
The document discusses the upcoming pension reforms in the UK and their anticipated impact. It explores why reforms are needed due to an aging population, lack of retirement savings, and other factors. It then analyzes the potential challenges to the success of the reforms, such as younger generations prioritizing other expenses, rising personal debt levels, and affordability issues. While the reforms aim to encourage more retirement savings, changing perceptions and building trust in pensions will be important for their long-term effectiveness.
The document discusses consumer perceptions of the UK financial services industry. It finds that perceptions remain overwhelmingly negative, with over a third still blaming the industry for the economic crisis. Feelings of skepticism, powerlessness and frustration towards financial institutions have also proved difficult to shift. However, some optimism comes from consumers not solely blaming the industry, and from signs of increased confidence and stabilization in the sector. The document advocates for financial institutions to treat customers fairly, reward loyalty, address consumer concerns, and improve communications to help rebuild trust over time.
The document discusses retirement planning and pensions in the UK. It finds that while 74% have made some provision for retirement, 26% have made no provisions. People are confused by the complex pensions system and lack of clarity in terminology. Many feel unprepared for retirement due to a lack of pension planning and over-reliance on the state pension. Improving communication about retirement planning and pensions is needed to increase understanding and confidence.
The document summarizes key aspects of the Retail Distribution Review (RDR) in the UK financial services industry. It discusses the need for regulation due to past mis-selling issues that eroded consumer trust. Major changes coming into force in 2012 include separating advice charges from product charges and requiring advisers to have qualifications. This aims to improve standards, transparency around fees, and perceptions of adviser independence in order to rebuild trust in the industry. However, concerns remain that advice may become unaffordable for many consumers and a two-tiered system could emerge.
The document discusses perceptions of and confidence in the UK financial services industry following the financial crisis. It finds that the most prominent feeling toward financial institutions is disappointment, followed by annoyance, skepticism, and powerlessness. Only 1 in 10 feel positive emotions. To restore faith, the industry must meet customer needs by addressing concerns through products and services, as well as change its behavior to be more understanding, transparent, and honest. Restoring trust will require understanding what drives customer relationships and the behaviors consumers want to see.
The document discusses the issue of rising consumer debt levels in the UK. It notes that total household debt excluding mortgages is almost £9,000 on average and including mortgages is over £30,000. This high level of debt corresponds to a rise in individuals seeking help from organizations like Citizens Advice Bureau. While many factors have contributed to rising debt, consumers, lenders, and the government all share some responsibility. Moving forward, financial institutions can help by providing advice, education, and engaging more directly with customers to help them better manage their finances.
Perceptions of the Financial Services Industry - Revisited Philip Brooks
In this edition of viewpoint, we revisit ‘Consumer Perceptions of the Industry’. We uncover who they now blame for the current economic crisis, how we make them feel, as well as the concerns we could help them address.
We also take a look into the future, assessing the potential impact of the Virgin Money acquisition of
Northern Rock.
The ‘Omnichannel’ Nirvana and the future of bankingPhilip Brooks
The document discusses the changing landscape of retail banking as technology advances how customers interact with banks. It notes that while branches are still important for some transactions, most customer interactions now occur online or through mobile devices. The document analyzes customer data to identify different types of customers based on their channel usage, and finds that those who rely more on in-person or phone interactions are more emotionally connected to their bank and less likely to complain or switch. It concludes that banks must find ways to recreate strong emotional bonds with customers who primarily use online and mobile banking to improve customer retention and reduce complaints.
The growth of ‘DIY investors’: RDR changes pushing a move to self directionPhilip Brooks
It will soon be two years since the Retail Distribution Review (RDR) came into force and represented a major shake up for the retail investment market. Incorporating the latest Harris Interactive poll data, we assess the impact on the use of professional advice and the implications for the future.

The document summarizes key aspects of the Retail Distribution Review (RDR) in the UK financial services industry. It discusses the need for regulation due to past mis-selling issues that eroded consumer trust. Major changes coming into force in 2012 include separating advice charges from product charges and requiring advisers to have qualifications. This aims to improve standards, transparency around fees and perceptions of independence, but may also reduce access to advice or lead some advisers to leave the market. Educating consumers on the changes will be important to rebuilding trust in the industry.

Basic Management Concepts., “Management is the art of getting things done thr...DilanThennakoon
The managers achieve organizational objectives by getting work from
others and not performing in the tasks themselves.
Management is an art and science of getting work done through people.
It is the process of giving direction and controlling the various activities
of the people to achieve the objectives of an organization Management is a universal process in all organized, social and economic activities. Wherever
there is human activity there is management.
Management is a vital aspect of the economic life of man, which is an organized group activity. A
central directing and controlling agency is indispensable for a business concern. The productive
resources –material, labour, capital etc. are entrusted to the organizing skill, administrative ability
and enterprising initiative of the management. Thus, management provides leadership to a
business enterprise. Without able managers and effective managerial leadership the resources of
production remain merely resources and never become production. Management occupies such an
important place in the modern world that the welfare of the people and the destiny of the country
