A Glimpse of the Future: Three Keys to Success
Trent Fleming, Trent Fleming Consulting
Join Trent Fleming as he peeks “over the horizon” at some key concepts that will determine the future course of community banking. Relationships will continue to drive our industry, but technology will be critical in delivering the entire experience a customer is looking for. Our first key is data analytics. Establishing policies and procedures that leverage customer data to better serve customers and improve internal efficiencies is a critical step forward. We will discuss what this discipline looks like and who should lead it. Next, building on data analytics, is smart growth -- an approach to growing your bank that seeks to combine multiple techniques into an efficient and sustainable growth model. Finally, we will talk about wealth management. Often overlooked by community banks, wealth management and private banking capabilities are well within your reach. This is about here identifying current and prospective private banking clients and working with them in such a way to maintain a profitable relationship: both from continuing to provide banking products and services and by guiding them as they engage with other financial services opportunities in a way that strengthens your relationship and provides fee income.

Spin-Free News of the Day from a ‘Simple Country Pundit’
Chris Stirewalt, Political Analyst, Commentator and Author
Chris Stirewalt tells it like it is and isn’t afraid to draw on his now-famous ‘Stirewaltisms’ to get his point across. From hammering the “malarkey” unfolding in the Senate as Republicans pushed for a health care overhaul to advising presidential nominees to “suit up and show up,” Stirewalt is known for his singular way of reporting the news: tell-it-like-it-is commentary infused with first-hand anecdotes, hilarious phrasing and smart insight. Humble and larger than life, Stirewalt’s gregarious persona keeps audiences engaged while delivering a succinct overview of our current political climate and a deep dive into issues that matter to his audience now, including analyzing races, breaking down what’s happening on Capitol Hill, taking apart legislative battles and offering a bird’s eye view of what’s to come in politics.
