Cambridge Savings Bank Increases Monthly Product Referrals by 300 Percent with The Conversation Hub® from EconiqEconiq announced that The Conversation Hub®, its solution that crafts and guides naturally flowing, high-value conversations between banks and their customers, increased the number of monthly product referrals for Cambridge Savings Bank (Cambridge, Mass., $3.2 billion) by 300 percent, while reducing the number of items on the bank's monthly operational summary report by more than 70 percent. In response to increasing customer adoption of digital channels, which was impacting the level of traffic at its branches, Cambridge Savings Bank refined its sales strategy and processes. As part of the initiative, the bank sought a solution that would support employees' efforts and make every conversation with customers as meaningful as possible, while strengthening service. After considering multiple solutions, Cambridge Savings Bank selected The Conversation Hub® from Econiq for its speed of deployment, ease-of-use and ability to craft color-coded conversations based on employees' best behaviors and that align with the bank's business objectives, guiding the bank's employees through naturally occurring, productive and compliant conversations with customers, while also providing its executives with a Conversation Intelligence Picture™ of every conversation to ensure continuous improvement of performance. Following a four month pilot program, the bank deployed the solution across its branch network in April 2016 and, leveraging crafted conversation intelligence, has since realized a 300 percent increase in the number of product referrals each month, while reducing the number of items in its monthly operational summary reports by more than 70 percent. "Econiq is a great prtner. Each month, they meet with our senior leadership to identify where we can enhance the quality of our conversations to drive sales and provide a great customer experience," said Carol Sexton, regional manager for Cambridge Savings Bank "Our bankers love the flow and the ease of the guided conversation.
