- The vast majority of businesses soon will be virtual and online.
- It’s not a matter of if, say the gurus, it’s just a matter of when.

- Now 92% of those surveyed actively try not to see any advertising – ever. Paid marketing is fracturing the ROI is falling.
Banks are living within this whirlpool and found it difficult going.
Australia held a Banking Royal Commission.
The report shattered trust and community within banks.
The findings summarised as
- Failures in governance, risk management, systems and processes that had turned banks into sales machines at the cost of their community and peoples trust were lost.
- The Royal Commission public hearings were horrific.
- The bank’s profits were more important than people.
- An ongoing sore that years later many recommendations are not yet law continues to weep.
Against this backdrop, banks have actioned
- branch closures,
- staffing level reductions severing local connections
- resulting in further loss of trust within the local community.
They are no longer the trusted source – no longer local and community builders.
Social Selling methodology (#socialselling) provides the roadmap for how banks can succeed today.
- The French online-only market leading mattress retailer has never paid for any advertising. It invested the savings from advertising from day one into better products, services and community. It focused on telling a bigger story than just their products and services that builds community and word of mouth with organic posts across the top five social media platforms – all day every day. It paid off.
- For hundreds of thousands of years, we have barely changed. Yes, technology has changed but people have barely changed.
- We seek community, people to people contact – even online.
- That’s one of the reasons why Social Selling has such great results across the world in every industry.
- At its core – Social Selling is about community building – personal accountability, building trust and solutions focussed at both a granular and global level.
