The Challenge:

  • Market share growth has essentially stalled in Lawrenceburg, showing essentially no change in three years and Harrodsburg market was declining. They had yet to build any tangible presence in Danville.
  • Bank-wide attrition of 31.74%
  • Customers were leaving the bank within one year of opening accounts. They were not being paired with the correct accounts.

The Solution:

Utilizing our Service2Experience process, MarketMatch first conducted a thorough competitive analysis. We also gauged the market experience with secret shops of LNB branches as well as key competitors. Finally, we analyzed the current product usage trends of existing LNB customers as well as auditing the sales process. Through our research, we learned the bank’s strengths and weaknesses in the market and were able to craft a winning game plan for the bank.

In addition to traditional marketing to build awareness in Danville and drive action in all markets, we made it a priority to focus internally. MarketMatch created unique product packaging, defined the team’s Customer Service Standards, implemented a “Winning Team” training program and designed easy-to-use point of sale tools to help the team hold relevant conversations with the customers to better build a relationship.
