March 19, 2005 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Dr. Eagle addresses the impact that superior teller and customer service has on the survival of retail banking up against the popularity of online banking. “Suddenly ‘value-added service’ has a renewed purpose,” says Dr. Eagle, “as customers begin to question the value of opening an account in their local branch and paying the service fees, when they can get the same products and rates online, for minimal fees. Your tellers and platform staff are your inducement.”She goes on to explain that efficient and effective teller training is not only about teaching customer service skills, but communication skills and sales techniques as well. Because regulatory compliance is a renewed concern of banking and financial institutions, tellers must be knowledgeable about the regulations and be prepared to explain these stricter guidelines to customers. Online teller training provides the solution. States Dr. Eagle: “Affordable and cost-effective, online teller training provides consistent, professional training to your tellers, while also functioning as an always-accessible regulatory reference.”
