One of the big Canadian banks, we’ll call them the Green bank, has a current radio ad that I believe holds a great lesson for sales people. In the ad, a customer of a competing bank, is complaining to a competing bank manager that all he got for switching to the bank was a toaster, “I already have a toaster; and it doesn’t even toast bagels. Sadly for Green, I already have a tablet, a 10”, and a mediocre Blue bank, only a few shades darker than Green.

The impact of regulation and KYC adherence on customer onboarding in banking. This is especially an issue in the banking and financial services sector, where thanks to increased regulation and KYC requirements, customer experience is suffering.

According to McKinsey, the risk function within banking and financial services will have a dramatically different role by 2025.

It would sound like this: Prospect “We really need to improve our cash-flow over the next few months, as we want to expand”.
