 Key Issues in Financial Product Sales

WHY the need?

Product knowledge and Training

Banks invest substantially in training its front desk staff on the product knowledge. Substantial resources are invested in these training sessions with the branch teams on each Product of every Company that the Bank represents. Moreover, the complexity increases when the products are ever-so changing and newer products are launched periodically. Not only the initial training but the perpetual up-skilling also adds to the existing efforts and overhead costs incurred. These are some critical aspects witnessed in financial product sales at the customer sales / branch level.

Customer Needs of Right Product Mapping

Success of selling financial products to customers critically depends on the right selection of the product financially securing short-term and long-term life-needs of the customer. If the product is rightly positioned to service a particular life-need of the customer, it can dramatically improve the success ratio of the product. Unfortunately it is complex to do that in the brief interaction available with the customer.

Weak Customer Financial Literacy

Most customers themselves are not aware of the product-need fit and thus stay confused about which product applies to what aspect of their financial planning. It is important that a Bank has the tools not only to advice the customers on choosing the right product but also to educate them on the options for selecting the right product.

Disintegrated Systems

The Financial Product Companies (like AMCs, Insurance Cos., Investment Cos., etc.) and the Banks use mutually exclusive / independent systems to manage their processes. Given the delinked processes and lack of integrated systems between the Banks and related Companies, the sales process faces unforeseen technical difficulties in-turn affecting the customer buy-in.

Cross Selling Problems

As the sales of Financial Products promoted by Banks are not dependant on implicit needs of customers and is instead a reactive commodity for sale, the Bank is not always aware of an existing customer’s life-goals / unidentified requirements. As a result, this information, which is otherwise very crucial in cross-selling the products, is lost and not leveraged on for effective sales.

Mis-selling & Regulatory Costs

Banks continuously face the grave issue of wrong products being sold to the customers. Banks invest in a lot of resources to prevent mis-selling of financial products through their channels. Moreover, they are under strong regulatory penalties / implications to ensure that the customers are not misled into wrong investments, thus making the compliance of these instructions more critical than ever before!
