With reduced in-branch transactions, customer visits, and rapidly progressing technology, traditional retail banking functions need to be updated. No longer can your front-line team say, “It’s not my job!” While the front-line banking team is shifting to a multi-tasking, "universal" banker role, today’s bank customer base is shifting from the traditional, twice-a-week visit model to a quick response, electronic banking-based relationship model. This two-day certification program focuses on the essentials for today’s Universal Banker in providing exceptional service, making referrals, and building profitable relationships. The program is packaged full of checklists, job aids, examples, and "real-world situations.
