The Power of 5


The Good News:Most everyone who walks in your front door needs more of your products!

Nearly all adults have a need for AT LEAST 5 different product categories … 

We call this the Power of 5:
  1. Checking:The “spend” account.
  2. Access: Ways to get to their money.  All electronic, plastic, and co-op tools.
  3. Savings:The short-term emergency account.
  4. Loans:Home, auto, credit card…
  5. Investments:CD, IRA, Trust, Insurance, etc.

The Bad News:Only 43% of consumers who purchased an additional banking product did so with their PFI.*

As you look at your 2012 budget, priorities and objectives, ask yourself one question:

Do you have at least 5 products in every household?

A focus on your existing customer/member base will be more cost effective, will yield better results and will decrease attrition.
