Q&A
Service | Expertise | Relationships
1. What do you love most about being a Retail Market Leader? The aspect I love most about my job is helping clients and their families manage and grow their lives through becoming financially stable. I enjoy building relationships with clients and seeing how the smallest personal gesture can impact how they choose to do business with me. It is the most rewarding part of my job.
2. Why is service such an important aspect of your role at GBC? Service is important to my job because it is what differentiates my business from others, overall. By providing exceptional service to clients, I am able to show them how much I care about their business as well as them personally.
3. How does expertise and continuously learning help your customers achieve success?
4. What about building relationships helps your customers with their banking needs? Trust is the most key component of building relationships with clients. If a customer cannot trust that I am assisting them in helping them make decisions that are right for both them and the bank; I am doing them a complete disservice.
5. What has your banking experience taught you the most? / OR what's your biggest piece of advice? Working in banking has taught me to be consciously aware of the successes and struggles that customers deal with when it comes to dealing with their finances. I have learned how to successfully engage with clients from all walks of life and I work hard to make them feel comfortable when discussing their finances with me. I have learned that no matter how much money a customer has or doesn't have, they all want to be knowledgeable and in control of their money. When they need help or advice, I want to be the person they trust to come to and discuss how I can help them manage their money. I love working hard for the customers to provide them with a great experience and peace of mind.
