Virtual Sales and Service
We help address key gaps in virtual sales and customer experience to get revenue growth back on track in 45-60 days
Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, only two percent of deposit accounts were being opened online at mid-size financial institutions. With up to 98% of their sales coming from traditional branches, banks and credit unions that do not quickly build digital sales, origination and engagement capabilities risk a tremendous competitive disadvantage.
By addressing key gaps in an institution’s virtual sales and customer experience, Cornerstone’s Virtual Sales and Service offering can help mid-size financial institutions to get revenue growth back on track in 45 to 60 days.

Driving Profitability by Keeping Score
