6. The
Struggle
As the Nigerian retail market
matures, many banks are struggling
to grow their customer base and
revenues.
7. The Need
Banking institutions have seen the
need to strategically improve the
effectiveness/efficiency and
profitability of branch networks.
8. Solution 1
The consistent feedback from our C-
level engagements with Banks is the
need to do more with less, by
transforming their branches from cost
centres into powerful income-
generators.
9. Solution 2 It is not enough simply to acquire customers, banks
must now work hard to retain customers, generate
more revenues from them and increase the
number of financial products sold to each
individual.
Becoming extremely competent at meeting the
needs of the major sources of sales, as well as
relentlessly focusing on execution, is what
differentiates a successful organisation from a
poorly performing one.
10. TO ACHIEVING BPIP REQUIRES
Adoption and communication of proposed KPI (scorecard) for branches
Ensuring excellence in customer service
Increased product usage per customer
Adoption of “best practice” retail operating model
Optimal people and branch resource utilisation
Strong growth in risk asset
Growth in customer base
11. Workforce Group is delighted to present our
findings on the drivers of Branch Profitability
which informed the development of our Branch
improvement Programme (BPIP) – an intervention
for implementing Analytics Based Learning to
improve branch profitability.

OUR LEARNING INTERVENTION CONTENT
18. Pillar 1: Branch Manager as a CEO (Chief Execution Officer) programme
Programme Premise Programme Objectives
Branches are a major delivery vehicle of
business volume in banking and the
performance of the branch is bound to have a significant
impact on the performance of the bank as a whole.
In response to a more competitive nationwide financial
services market, branch banking has gone through significant
improvements. To maintain viability and to improve
competitiveness, banking institutions have seen the
need to strategically improve the
effectiveness/efficiency and profitability of branch networks.
While bank branches are important tools for developing
comprehensive and effective customer relationships, they are
also the most effective sales channels. The Bank with
branches that has developed very deep relationship with
their customers will be well positioned to win in this evolving
marketplace.
Some of the key result areas addressed by the programme include
the following:
The need for banks to guarantee standardisation and quality
of service delivery across their various branches. This
programme is designed to address this by equipping Business
Manager and Unit Heads with critical competencies required
to run a successful branch.
The need for Banks to ensure consistency in customer
experience across its branches toward transforming its
customer interactions into delightful experience for its
customers.
The need for Banks to have the right leadership at the branch
level managing people for strategic advantage, ensuring they
are engaged and driving them effectively for improved
performance and results.
19. Our
Modules
The Branch Manager as a CEO training programme is a 3 day classroom training
session for Branch Managers, comprising the following modules.
Module 1 – The Business of Banking
Module 2 – Driving Branch Operational Excellence (The effective Branch
Manager)
Module 3 – Branch Profitability Management. (Driving profitability Through
Analytics)
Module 4 – Cost Optimisation Strategy For Branch Operations
Module 5 – Branch Performance Management
Module 6 – Driving results through others
20. Pillar 2: Strategic Cross-Selling and Upselling/Selling with Service programme.
Programme Premise Programme Objectives
Sales people sell to the customer. Customer
Service people serve the customer.
Sales people attend Sales Training programme. It makes sense
because they need to sell to the customer.
Customer Service people attend Customer Service course.
Again, it makes sense because they need to serve the
customer very well.
However, this approach of separating Service from Selling
create gaps in many organisations and this leads to service
delivery failure because most of the time, promises made at
the point of selling are not fulfilled at the point of service.
There is a need for an integrated approach. A selling with
Service approach and orientation.
Our Selling With Service Workshop is
designed to equip Front and Back office
staff with the must have competencies required to provide
exceptional service as well as sell to both existing and
potential customers of the bank Bank.
The workshop is based on extensive research into customer
buying psychology and the factors that create a loyal
customer.
It is designed to be practical and activity based (with lots of
Templates and Tools) to ensure your delegates are able to put
what they have learnt in the classroom to effective use back
at the place of work.
As part of this learning intervention, we also adopt a
consultative approach and provide Banks with the framework
and support to drive the implementation of the concept of
“Selling More To Existing customers”
21. Delegates are required to translate their learning
into concrete personal development and branch
profitability improvement actions plans.
Delegates extend their learning process beyond
the 2 or 3 days spent in class by leaving with a
clear roadmap for building their personal
proficiency and overall branch performance.
Personal development plans also provide the bank
human resource team with the valuable insight to
support branch staff development.
Branch profitability improvement plans will
provides strategic insight to drive branch
profitability across the bank.
22. “Learning is a Process”
We understand that learning does
not happen in isolation. Instead, it
involves how the learner relates and
even adapts learning to work and
other environment.

demonstrated that when clear
objectives are associated with learning
