Pravit, the Prolific
Product Manager

2. We spend time developing new
product offerings.
You know -- like interest-plus
checking accounts, loan ReFis,
overdraft protection.
But Carl’s customer-service reps
don’t cross-sell them when our
customers call.
While my reps are good at
problem-solving for our
customers, I keep telling you
they aren’t comfortable selling.
It’s a different skill set – just
different.
Reps don’t understand the
process, the products or the
opportunity.

3. It’s not surprising their cross-
selling conversion rate is only 35%.
And it’s creating animosity between
us and our departments.

4. Adding insult to business injury, I
have an agent-turnover rate of 36% …
You’d think, in this economy, they’d be
glad to have a job, but during training,
some don’t even come back after
lunch.
*SIGH*
We need to find a way to hire the
right people, and give them the
training they need to succeed.
