For banks and credit unions, turnkey onboarding is a must to overcome the three most common barriers to customer retention, higher cross-selling rates and better customer satisfaction.
Without an effective onboarding strategy, banks and credit unions face a number of unique challenges that can make all the difference between growth and a standstill:
- Usage of new accounts depends on how engaged each customer is.
- The beginning of the relationship with a new customer is where they decide if they trust your company.
- Cross-selling ratios can only increase with timely customer communications.
Onboarding strategies are the key to overcoming these three deficits. But it’s clear — and industry research supports this — that most banks and credits unions do not use turnkey onboarding.
What is turnkey onboarding?
Turnkey onboarding is a systematic approach to a strategy for addressing customers’ needs in the first three months after they open accounts. Research shows that this initial time frame is the ideal one in which to retain a customer, increase customer satisfaction and boost sales.
And this can be done with a fairly simple approach that meets these goals:
- Identify the needs of the customer.
- Follow up with communications that encourage sales as well as educate.
- Stimulate customer response with a series of touch points that help them engage with your company’s other products.
