Maximizing Gains & Adapting to Change

Digital Platforms are Driving Sales & Coverage Realignment

The banking industry faces enormous change in the age of digitization. These technologies have helped them evolve and innovate exponentially, creating a high potential for gains for B2B bank relationships and retail banking.

Digital platforms facilitate faster sales cycle times and drive coverage realignments for customer-facing roles. However, coverage models now include new virtual client and prospect interactions. As a result, performance expectations, goals and traditional incentive plans that drive these new required behaviors must be intelligently modified.

Alexander Group helps financial Industry clients develop the strategy, structure and sales organizations that drive growth and align with business objectives.
