Integrity Selling Credit Union Training - The Member Advantage

Build Member Relationships That Lead to Next-Level Growth

The breadth and depth of your products and services are one important measure — they’re top notch. But that’s not enough to build longtime, trust-based relationships with your members. Here’s how credit unions do that consistently and for the long-term:

  • They develop and support their employees’ confidence, competence, and commitment to creating superior value for members;
  • They build a sales and service process culture-wide that’s intensely focused on customer needs

We address critical credit union challenges like yours, including:

  • Needing to grow share of wallet, but maybe your representatives have an aversion to what they perceive to be ‘selling?’”
  • A corporate culture that leans much more toward the ‘service side’ of sales and service; is sales seen as a ‘dirty word’?.. 
  • Struggling to balance accountability with managerial support and one-to-one coaching
  • Need to grow non-interest revenue per FTE, but staff doesn’t ask thoughtful questions or know how to handle tough objections in conversations
Credit Union Training for sales teams

The Member Advantage™ (TMA) is a highly interactive service/sales development process created specifically for credit unions. Leveraging Integrity Solutions® proprietary learning methodology, TMA is based on the foundational process used for developing member needs-focused, consultative sales skills in service professionals—Integrity Selling® for Service Professionals (ISSP). Content can be customized for increased relevancy and creates a common language across the organization.

  • Selling with integrity creates value.
  • Serving with integrity sustains value…
  • and member value leads to loyalty and asset growth.

Testimonials

The Member Advantage reflects our philosophy and commitment to our members. We meet our member(s) where they want to be met and provide solutions to make dreams come true through active disciplines of TMA principles that deepen the members relationship.

Chris Severin, VP of Retail

I wanted to transition away from an order-taking culture, but I didn’t want to sacrifice member service. Integrity Solutions’ philosophy is that ‘sales equals service, and service equals sales.’ I’d never seen it explained that way, but I loved it because it helps people see that sales is about looking out for your members’ needs.

Brandon Michaels, President & CEO

Its been a couple of great production months since relaunching TMA. We had our best deposit month of the year last month and are on track to meet or exceed that this month. I attribute the results to TMA.

Laura Enquist, VP Member Experience

Our legacy of a strong “Service is Sales, Sales is Service” culture has been significantly enhanced through the adoption of The Member Advantage™ for front-line staff as they communicate and connect with our cherished membership.

Chris O’Malley, Senior Vice President Branch and Support Operations & Chief Information Officer

There was a lot of negativity in the beginning when we talked about selling. No one wanted to become a ‘used car salesman.’ With Integrity Solutions’ approach, I was able to show our staff that a sales and service culture means understanding the needs of the members and fulfilling those needs. By doing that we’re actually providing great service—and that’s our ultimate goal.

Robert Blumberg, CEO
Shape Copy

Exceptional engagement is a primary driver of what we do every day; it’s members first with everything. We wanted a program that neared that, that was consultative in nature. Integrity most aligned with what we were trying to accomplish and, even more importantly, with our core values.
