Well known financial consultant Dave Martin recently noted in one of his articles that “as banking increases self-service technology, our face-to-face interactions may become less frequent. Each one, however, becomes more important, not less.”

One excellent way to ensure that each face-to-face interaction is meaningful is to allow your members to schedule appointments – either in-person or via video. Appointments ensure that your staff is properly prepared for the meeting in advance. Plus notifications – either email or text or both – remind your members to bring the necessary paperwork to the meeting which helps ensure that the meeting is successful on the very first visit.

Key Takeaway: Appointments can play a key role in helping in boosting member satisfaction levels.
