The retail banking sales operations of savings banks are at a crossroads: digital customer touchpoints are becoming the primary gateway to advisory services and sales. Personal interaction adds value only when integrated across channels.
Today’s customers expect intuitive digital services, the ability to conduct transactions online and quick response times. At the same time, they expect personalized advisory services for complex financial decisions. Financial decisions often begin digitally – from gathering information and comparing options to preparing for a transaction – making the quality of the digital experience an early determinant of the customer relationship. At the same time, regulatory requirements are increasing, cost structures are under pressure, and digital competitors are repeatedly setting new standards in banking sales – with fully digital sales journeys and radically simple processes.
Many savings banks therefore face the challenge of modernizing their established sales structures without losing their regional presence or the quality of their advisory services. In the current business environment, the number of channels has become less significant. The focus has shifted to how these channels collaborate. Digital reach, remote-service flexibility, and personalized advisory services must be managed as a cohesive end-to-end sales system.
zeb supports savings banks in strategically realigning their retail banking sales operations: with clearly defined roles for the app, online banking, remote and in‑person advisory services and branches, professional lead management as well as a sales management system that translates data into concrete action.
When branches, apps and advisory services are dovetailed, the result is a sales approach that is simpler for customers and more effective for savings banks. The goal is not merely to consider digital channels, but to establish them as fully-fledged sales channels with clear accountability, measurable performance and seamless handoffs to advisory services and sales. Read our latest white paper to find out how to achieve this.
In retail banking at savings banks, sales success today is achieved where data, channels, artificial intelligence and personal advisory services are seamlessly integrated. The app is becoming the primary touchpoint; advisory meetings are increasingly taking place digitally – and must be seamlessly transitioned into qualified customer conversations and completed sales without any disruption between channels.
Existing opportunities often go untapped in day‑to‑day business because digital leads, appointment requests and customer inquiries are not fully captured, prioritized and converted into sales. At the same time, heterogeneous regional markets, increasing competitive pressure and growing expectations for AI-enabled customer experiences are raising the bar for management and implementation.
An integrated sales model aims to systematically link digital customer touchpoints, lead management, sales management and regional market dynamics – so that reach, advisory services and proximity translate into measurable sales success.
zeb supports savings banks in aligning their sales management across all channels – from strategy and planning through implementation to performance management and continuous optimization. Data, market trends and sales targets are consistently translated into concrete management decisions.
