Since 2015, we have gone from $6.2 million to over $8.18 million in assets per employee. Our profitability has gone up from about $357,000 in the first half of 2015 to $1.1 million in the first half of 2018. Core Deposits are up from $182 million to $263 million and assets have increased from $256 million to $422 million. Our non-interest-bearing deposits grew 34% in 2015, 36.8% in 2016, and 26% in 2017. This has exceeded even our lofty expectations!

“Before Roxanne, we had lost direction. We knew we needed growth and a culture shift. Since joining The Emmerich Group, our deposits are up 22%, our customer satisfaction rating is 9.90 out of 10, and we are experiencing our most profitable year on record. This is the best investment we’ve ever made.”

“We assumed that high performance was for ‘the other guys.’ Then we found the Blueprint and we skyrocketed from a bank that was battling for average to a high level of performance we never dreamed possible. It was a miracle.

We had two individuals from our team who took the Accredited Banking Professional course and, while ‘practicing,’ brought in $20 million in deposits—$15 million of which were low-cost deposits.

And we are hitting every single metric every single quarter—something we never did before. I can’t imagine any bank that wouldn’t want to have this Blueprint. All of a sudden, we’re having a blast coming to work every day!”

Before we worked with The Emmerich Group, we had tried many consultants and training programs with little or no improvement. Within 30 days of our Kick-Butt Kick-Off®, we grew more than we had in the previous 10 years combined—35% annualized in 30 days! The growth of deposits and loans can only be described as a miracle and the profits were up 44%. Ongoing growth has soared from there. The systems keep taking us further.

Before TEG, we knew had to go somewhere, but we weren’t sure where that was or how to get there. TEG helped the bank focus its energies and learn how to do things/build accountability. Roxanne brings human nature and the systems piece to management that takes you from good to great. We have increased focus on who the best customers are. TEG is like a franchise for banks that helps you know what to change—culture, sales, profitability—and success follows.

We’ve always had a good culture but especially the last few years it’s been wonderful and people have wanted to come to work for us because they hear the good things we’re doing, and we have Roxanne and her approach to culture transformation to thank for that. We’ve got 10,000 customers. Knowing that those 100 or 150 best customers are really providing 100% of our net income, we’ve focused on them and on getting more people like them. That’s helped us stay focused on profit-growth, not just account growth.

Historically, the leadership team would spend months—plus two days together in-person—struggling over a 50+ page annual strategic plan. Once we finalized it, the board would approve it and everyone would put the doggone thing in a folder until the next strategic planning time the following summer. Today, it’s a one-pager. And we’re now a working, functioning leadership team that is very engaged in the strategic direction we are following.

We know what to focus on.

[Strategic Planning] Think Tank allows you to get laser focus and walk away with clarity on what is going to be important for the bank moving forward the next several years. It allows you to walk away with a plan.

This has been incredible. [After talking about doing it for decades]… now, in two months, we improved our mystery shopping scores from 7.5 to 9.3, and we increased our average cross-sales ratio in 7 weeks from 2.9 to 5.1. One of our CSRs is now averaging over 7 cross-sales for each new customer. The best part is that we are creating a sustainable system that [will] keep our scores up year after year.

We have seen a significant increase in our cross-sales since implementing your proven Retails Sales process. We have increased from a team-wide average of less than 3 to finishing 2020 at 5.91. We have also seen individual teammates grow from being fearful of “sales” to routinely building customer trust resulting in individual cross-sales of +10! Utilizing weekly huddles, our leaders follow the Retail Sales process with precision, leading to a deeper understanding that these are win-win interactions.

We’ve worked with The Emmerich Group for a little over a year now. In the past, we had tried implementing a sales program and didn’t get the results we wanted. Now, we’re taking the approach of identifying what the customer needs and then providing that to them. And, we see that as something of service to our customers, and the customers appreciate that approach. A year ago, we averaged 2.7 cross-sales per new account. Now we expect to finish out the current month averaging just under 7 – more than double… in a year!
