Manager 2 Manager Advice

• Stay fresh, and keep your club interesting. There are many banks out there looking for your customers.

• Be open to everyone, be a great listener, and address everyone by name. Remember their stories, ask about those story details at a later time, and make all feel needed and special. You’ll receive rewards tenfold.

• Be visible via newsletters and any other publicizing options available to you. This keeps your members and potential members informed about your terrific club.
