Pain!
I get calls every day from lenders in PAIN!
What kind of PAIN you ask?
• Fear about what the CFPB/regulators will do to us
• What our friends, family and neighbors think of us
• What new city ordinance is going to be passed against us
• Who might sue us next
• How do we collect our money
The #1 PAIN? How to take care of our existing customers and how to get more of them!
At a minimum, there are 45 MILLION+ customers out there who want to do business with us.
The LIFE TIME VALUE (LTV) of just one customer is $4,236 – $15,000+ in fees generated!
So… if you miss just ONE customer you’re talking about SERIOUS PAIN!
(Relax! I’m getting to PAIN relief)
Look, I have no clue as to what the CFPB will do – if ANYTHING. The Chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee just introduced HR4018. This changes the game in our favor BIG TIME! And CSFA, FISCA, OLA, NASFA, our lobbyists, our State associations are all working hard…
If you’re still concerned about what your friends, family and neighbors think, open a pizza store. I’m certain that too will meet with some disapproval.
City Ordinances? As I’ve been saying for years, “Embrace the Internet or Die!” Cities can’t enforce their crazy laws anyway. The State will prevail. But, be prepared…
Most importantly, let’s not forget our customers. Our CUSTOMERS support us big time! Over and over again – at hearings, meetings and CFPB rallies, they’ve expressed their desire for continued access to our products and services!
PAIN RELIEF!
ENABLE YOUR CUSTOMER TO DO BUSINESS WITH YOU!
Online & Storefront Lenders.
Don’t lose a customer because you’re CLOSED. Be available 24/7 to make loans/$$
Are you losing business to your competition because of your hours of operation?
You want to service more customers? You want to make more loans? The magic words are “SPEED” and “AVAILABILITY.”
SPEED:
Speed of customer contact is huge! If you wait five minutes to call a lead after you purchase it, chances are the customer has been contacted by someone else already.
If your customer has to wait in line while your CSR’s answer your phone, they will bolt!
How many times have you experienced this yourself? You’re in a place of business. You wait in line for your turn. The phone rings. Suddenly, the caller on the phone has literally jumped into line ahead of you. The caller is not placed on hold. YOU are! Patience is not a virtue!
AVAILABILITY:
During the past week, Team Trihouse called 132 loan companies after hours. 93% of the time, all we got was a poorly worded recorded voice!
“Hello, sorry we missed you. Our hours are Monday through Friday 10 A.M. to 6 P.M. and Saturdays 10 A.M to 2 P.M. Please leave a message and we’ll return your call. BEEP…”
As “The Donald” would say, “STUPID!” 82% of the companies we left a message with NEVER returned our call.
Lenders are spending $$ on store branches, signage, leads, TV, radio, car wraps, direct mail, bus benches, on and on while FAILING miserably at serving their customers.
OK, ENOUGH! How do we fix this?
Hire and train more CSR’s and staff them 24/7.
WHOOPS! That’s expensive, time consuming and hard to scale.
A simpler way? Try Centrinex
OK, here comes the PITCH.
But seriously, I know Centrinex works! You can stop being “STUPID.” You can be “open” 24/7 and beat the pants off your competition.
