Sales Skill and Knowledge Chapter One introduced the Sales role of the Professional Teller, now we will further explore specific Sales skills. Recall that selling a product or service should not take the approach of “pushing” them on customers. This is especially true when the Teller is lacking knowledge of customer’s needs. Selling is all about Relationship Building, being perceptive to the customer’s needs during conversations and meeting those needs. Needs are best served by helping the customer match a Bank product or service that is a “best fit” given the need. Today, our discussion will center around a few core areas:

1. When do people want to become our customer?

2. What are the BASICS of selling? 3. What are customer cues? 4. How are customer cues identified? 5. How can I build and improve my Sales ability?

When do people want to become our customer? Make people feel important! When

we demonstrate that, we value and care about their situations, people will be more inclined to do business with Monroe Bank.

When we demonstrate empathy combined with friendliness, the customer will sense our sincerity.

When they feel that they will receive accurate product and service information from knowledgeable, dependable Bank employees.

When we actively demonstrate a willingness to help the customer match the best product or service that will most benefit their specific needs.

They feel our products and services are competitive with other banking institutions, exhibit value and offer exceptional service

First, we will start with the BASICS of selling detailed on the next page.

Sales: Begin with the Basics

Teller Action Customer Perception & Outcome

B = Begin with eye contact, a smile and a sincere greeting. Use the customer’s name if known. Offer to help.

Forms a positive image of the Bank and begins to build a relationship. Recall that selling is about Relationship Building, not pushing products or services on customers.

A = Assess and explore customer’s needs by looking for written, verbal and behavioral Cues (See page 9).

By identifying cues that truly meet a customer need, we will be perceived as showing respect and not just pushing products or services that do not benefit the customer.

S =

Suggest products that meet the needs and explain the benefits. Ask customer if the product would benefit them to confirm an interest.

Customer gains confidence from our ability to discuss products that meet direct needs. Relationship Building is advanced as the benefits are tied to their lives in real terms.

I = Initiate and obtain agreement by asking for their business.

Customer senses our sincere interest in obtaining their business and they feel valued as a result, not just another account number for the Bank’s books!

C =

Continue the sales process by determining the next step to speak with a Personal Banker or make a referral to the appropriate area.

By accepting the next step to speak with a Personal Banker or by accepting a referral, the customer will feel committed to the decision.

S = Say Thank You and show appreciation, thanking the customer by name.

Customer feels valued and that the Bank appreciates their business. Follow-up with the customer’s decision during their next visit to the bank and request feedback about the experience. Show a sincere interest in his or her feedback.

Say Thank You

Improving Sales Performance

To make gains toward Sales related goals, we can use the SMART Goals Model that we studied from Chapter One. Let’s apply a real world example to the SMART Goals Model.

Real World Scenario: Sales Area of Weakness Tina Teller is very good at greeting customers and shows sincerity; however, she is uncomfortable with acting on customer cues by asking financial or banking questions that would help her sales performance. How can Tina Teller use the SMART Goals Model to help?

In addition to SMART Goals, Tellers will participate in many forms of coaching and learning activities designed to help each team member achieve goals and improve performance.

Got Goals? Get SMART!

SMART Goals

S = Specific M = Measurable A = Attainable R = Realistic T = Timely

Tina Teller’s Goals

S I want to become more confident in asking customers questions about their financial and banking needs to help improve my sales performance.

M For one week, each day, I will practice and role-play 3 customer interactions that involve asking financial and banking questions.

A Attainable given the daily practice goal for reaching one goal

R Practical and realistic given the one week time frame to achieve one goal

T In one week, my confidence will strengthen and I will be able to ask customers questions to improve sales performance.

Coaching and Learning Activities

The term “Coaching” describes a positive educational process that provides constructive feedback to improve performance. Managers and supervisors should provide coaching feedback that contains positive information about performance as well as possible areas of weakness that may need improvement. Tellers should view coaching as a practical learning tool to grow with the bank and reinforce various skill sets. Overtime, the benefits of coaching open a path to success.
