How does a Credit Union truly “live”? We live through growth, growth inspired by change and change aligned with our Missions and Visions.

Credit Unions everywhere are looking to instill a sales culture while protecting the member service excellence that differentiates us as an industry. For credit unions looking for increased sales, I suggest developing comprehensive metrics that measure the successes of your front line employees to ensure they are providing superior member service through offering your organization’s full suite of products.
