Small business owners work harder than anyone — averaging upwards of 60 hours a week. When they need a loan, they don’t want to take time out of their day for a “delightful” customer experience… They want convenience. They just want it to work. It’s something Derek Corcoran, Chief Strategy Officer (CSO) at Numerated, says most banks get wrong by not even offering digital lending. And that’s just one of the many opportunities to serve SMBs he joins today’s show to discuss that most banks are missing. In this episode, we cover: - The two types of customer experience - The value of convenience and simplicity for SMBs - The goodwill community banks fostered in the pandemic (and how to avoid squandering it) You can find this interview and many more by subscribing to Banking on Digital Growth on Apple Podcasts, on Spotify, or here.

It’s time to face reality: Banking is not going back to the “good ol’ days.” Whether that means the ‘70s, when customers begged for loans, or a couple years ago when banking was still mostly done in person. And if banks don’t understand that, the only good ol’ days they’ll relive happened about 65 million years ago — when all the other dinosaurs disappeared. Today’s guest, Jack Hubbard, Chief Experience Officer at St. Meyer & Hubbard, got his start in banking back in the supposed good ol’ days of the ‘70s and, for him, there are no better days than the ones we’re living now. Well, for financial brands who learn to sell and build relationships in a digital world, that is. In this episode, we discuss: - The changes in banking and how banks can adapt - The difference between a sales culture and a performance culture -Why LinkedIn is something financial brands should embrace, not fearn Digital Growth on Apple Podcasts, on Spotify , or here .
