GSB – Stabilize Core Earnings By Reinforcing Existing Relationships

Economic uncertainty combined with slow economic recovery are likely to impact revenue performance. What are the anchors that banking leaders should be managing to minimize the effects of today’s challenges through 2023? The foundational answer is already at the bank… current customers and core earnings. Today is always a good time to develop your customer relationship retention and growth strategies. As you integrate development initiatives into your business planning, remember a few basic principles for relationship growth and success:

  • Don’t wait for problems to surface.
  • Reconnect with tenured customers that provide funding and quality borrowers.
  • Proactively offer assistance, frequently.
  • Proactively offer personalized, custom solutions.
  • Enhance value through service and expertise.
  • Identify your ‘at risk’ relationships.
  • Get back to business development.

Target Audience: Emerging leaders, mid to upper level managers, Senior managers and leaders

Presenter: Kyle Hershberger and Tom Hershberger — Cross Financial

Registration Option: Live presentation $330

  • Recording available through February 10, 2023

Supervisor Boot Camp

The WBA Supervisor Boot Camp will start on Monday, October 16, 2023 at 9:00 a.m. and adjourn on Tuesday, October 17, 2023 by 4:00 p.m. 

An Intense Focus on Succeeding at Managing Others

You don’t master the art of supervision through luck, you master it with training, experience, self-learning, and staying on top of best practices. As a supervisor, you must have the attitude, aptitude, skill set, confidence, persistence, and commitment to excel in this multi-tasking, challenging role. Supervisor Boot Camp will help you build essential traits such as leadership, professional maturity, and emotional IQ.

With this in mind, InterAction Training has designed a compelling, two-day dynamic, interactive workshop just for you! The program includes exploring the coaching and leadership skills that lay out a plan for your success as a highly effective supervisor. You will find this experiential training opportunity invigorating, motivating and applicable to managing and supervising others.

Fast-Paced * Information Packed * Results Oriented * Dynamic * Interactive * Engaging

This two-day program is exactly what you are looking for if your bank strives to keep supervisors on the competitive edge! You will work and learn, share and listen, and go back eager to implement and make a difference.
