For many commercial bankers the average time it takes to get a new banking client can be from 12-36 months. The banking relationship is often a commodity and commercial bankers have a need to differentiate from the competition. Many institutions are realizing that their most historically underutilized asset is their current customers and are looking for ways to increase value of those relationships. Bankers would like to deepen and broaden customer relationships through cross-selling, taking a more educational and consultative approach, and making their relationships more solution-oriented than product-oriented. Commercial bankers realize their greatest challenge is there is not enough time in the day to give every customer the attention they deserve and Ascendix Solutions has solutions which can help.

We help commercial bankers address some of these common business challenges:

Enhance cross-sell and referral initiatives - Most banks are expanding their financial services capabilities and Ascendix can help automate referral tracking between departments and help maintain a complete picture of their customer relationships.

Eliminate islands of data and lack of information - Banks have a wealth of information on both their customers and prospective loan customers. This information resides data on paper and in disconnected databases and rarely leverage it to for marketing purposes. Ascendix can help you centralize this data into useful information to help grow your asset base.

Automation of marketing and contact processes - Most banks don't educate their customers on all the valuable products and services they offer. By putting both customers and prospective customers on stay in touch marketing campaigns, you can grow your business through direct mail and email communications and deepen relationships with existing customers.

Improved Deal Management - Automate the tracking and forecasting of deals allowing for management reporting and making sure efforts are focused on the most profitable customers.

Integration with core systems - Open architecture of our systems allows for seamless management of customer information across disparate databases and environments.

Need to attract and retain top employees - Banking is getting ultra competitive not only for customers but top employees as well. By implementing top notch support systems, banks can attract top lending officers and relationship managers.
