First National Bank of Elk River uses Integrity Selling® when recruiting new business relationships.

A successful customer experience requires more than transactional skills and product knowledge.
To build a customer-focused culture, shift from transaction
to customer-focused beliefs, behaviors, and skills.
Integrity Solution
So, is GOOD
SERVICE the ANSWER?
PROVEN: Well-executed service programs DO significantly impact on revenue and bank earnings.
So why do so many banks believe they provide excellent customer service --
but still have low RESULTS?
The GAP:
Many customer service processes are not fully integrated into the culture.
5 Qualities of a Customer-Centric Culture

Individuals go beyond the transactional experience to build high value customer relationships.
Everyone speaks a common language and exhibits common ethics and values.
Frontline has a positive view of selling and sees themselves as part of the sales process.
All employees believe selling is great for the customer, themselves, and the bank.

Congruence Makes the Difference
“Most of the people who’ve gone through our Integrity program said, “Oh, that’s what selling is? Really? It’s just me serving my customer, sharing my knowledge and experience, helping them get the right product and service, or solve their problems? Hey, I can do that!” I’ve really seen a lot of success with that. And giving them a system that works, that’s comfortable, that makes sense -- really helps them succeed.”

Commitment to Activities up 25%
Goal Clarity up 27%
Values and Ethics
Selling is a mutual exchange of value.
Selling isn’t something you do to people; it’s something you do for and with them.
Develop trust and rapport before any selling activity begins.
Selling pressure is never exerted by a sales professional. It’s exerted by customers when they recognize the value of your products and services.
Selling techniques give way to values-driven principles.

Values and Ethics
Truth, respect and honesty provide the basis for long-term selling success.
Ethics and values contribute more to sales success than techniques or strategies.
Understanding wants or needs must always precede any discussion about product.
Negotiation is never manipulation. It’s a strategy to work through concerns – when customers want to work through them.
Closing is a victory for the customer, the sales professional and the organization.
