NOW is the Time to Gain a Competitive Advantage:
WIN the Battle for Deposits, Conquer NIM Compression, and Rise Above Competition

Increase Your ROA, Capture Profit-Rich Clients, and Transform Your Work Culture with the Breakthrough Banking™ Blueprint Conference

Many banks are battling against their competitors’ absurd deposit rate offers.

Many bankers are, sadly, trapped in their old ways of doing things and mystified about why it’s not working. In the ever-evolving landscape of banking, the competition for deposits and the fight against NIM compression has intensified, presenting both danger and enormous potential for those who know how to navigate it. It has been a battle for deposits and regulators are coming in “guns ablazing.” Add to that the challenges of finding and keeping good people, NIM compression, and let’s just say, this game just got a whole lot harder. High-performing banks are not exempt from these and other challenges the banking industry is facing. A report published in March 2023 on the Social Science Research Network highlighted that a total of 186 banks in the United States are currently exposed to potential risk of failure, which might result in losing independence.

The fight for deposits and against NIM compression is crushing the soul of many bankers.

NOT YOU.
YOU CAN WIN these battles. This is YOUR TIME to pull ahead.

History shows that fortunes are made during difficult economic times.

Challenging times are proven as the times to pull ahead. History shows that fortunes are made during recessions and difficult economic times. Amidst fierce competition, the banks that adeptly maximize their deposit potential while strategically managing deposit costs are the ones that will emerge as trailblazers.

While your competitors are licking their wounds and shutting off or down the loan production spigot, it’s your time to snap up their low-cost deposits and seize your competitors’ best customers.

But the real question is, do your people really know how?

Same ol’ same ole won’t cut it.

June 6-7, 2024 | St. Louis, Missouri

The Breakthrough Banking™ Blueprint Conference is a special event, crafted to unveil the strategies smart banks employ in challenging times.

We’ve worked with over 300 of the most elite, ambitious, results-oriented banks, revered by other bank CEOs in their states. Most have been recognized as the “best place to work” in their state, and many have catapulted performance to the top 5% of peers.

There are 27 KEY PROCESSES you must master to become a top 5% community bank…

Discover them at the all-new Breakthrough Banking™ Blueprint Conference. These are not the same tired old bank “strategies” with new fancy names and new “attitude,” as if that has ever worked. This is truly a blueprint to build the bank you’ve always envisioned under your watch.

Immerse yourselves in a 2-DAY INTENSIVE event on June 6-7, 2024, in St. Louis, Missouri, where your bank executives will walk away with secret-weapon strategies to revolutionize a high-profit sales culture, grow low-cost deposits and quality loans safely and consistently, and improve EVERY metric.

Can you afford to attend? The real question is: Can you afford not to?

As a bank executive, you deserve more than just status quo. Here are 11 reasons why the Breakthrough Banking™ Blueprint Conference is the event you can’t afford to miss:

  1. As a CEO or bank executive, you’ve given the culture of excuses a good try. Now you’ve decided this “results” thing is worth looking into.
  2. You want to never, ever, (ever, ever) EVER match rates (ever) again!!!
  3. Your workplace feels like adult daycare with whining, gossip, and excuses. Your pacifier budget is all tapped out. It’s past time to “open a can of grown-up” and start having some REAL fun making miracles happen!
  4. You’re ready to cheat off the papers of smart bankers who are busting through this economy with “right-on” marketing—they’re unstoppable, they mean business…and (except for that one guy) they’re nice!
  5. The last time you let yourself have fun was the office Christmas party in 1988 that we agreed not to talk about.
  6. You want to learn how one of the private bankers who attended this event applied the process she learned to cross-sell without paying up and got 13 cross-sales in her very first conversation—11 more than her previous high!
  7. You have “energy vampires” in your organization sucking the life out of your bottom line—and you’re looking for some garlic. Maybe even a wooden stake. We’ve got ‘em.
  8. You know that “If it feels like sales, you’re doing something wrong”— and you want to know the RIGHT way to create massive sales!
  9. DEPOSITS, DEPOSITS, DEPOSITS! You want to find out how one bank, using this process, picked up more in commercial deposits in a few short months than they had in the previous 10 years combined!
  10. You’re tired of trial and error… of long days and sleepless nights. You need a template that works and you need it NOW!
  11. You’ve read the research about how 90% of people perform and believe they perform in the top 10%, but you don’t know how to tell your people what top performance looks like. And so, therefore, they’re working hard but not smart.

This isn’t just another event—it’s your opportunity to gain valuable skills, enhance your performance, and transform your bank’s reputation in the industry. Don’t miss the chance to be part of this transformative experience!
