Referral • • •
The potential ABC service opportunity is initiated by the employee with the customer or prospect The goal is to focus on creating a qualified sales opportunity, appointment or introduction to a salesperson or product specialist The customer needs to provide permission for future contacts from the appropriate ABC staff
Qualified Referral •

If the employee sets up an appointment for the customer to talk with a sales representative or makes an immediate introduction, it is automatically a qualified referral.
Open Referral •
Any referral that has been initiated by the employee, but has not yet resulted in a follow-up presentation with the customer or the sale of an ABC service

REFERRAL QUICK TIPS Referrals Defined It IS a referral if: It IS NOT a referral if: • The customer has NOT previously requested information from us about • The customer is an employee. the product. • If the customer already has the product or service, it is not a referral. • The referring employee established the thought with the customer. • The customer asks for the product and you direct them to the right • The sole reason the customer is coming to ABC Bank is because you, specialized employee (except loans processed through the Internet). personally, are an employee of the company. • Someone you know comes in to open an account, but you did not play • The customer attends an investment seminar upon invitation by an an active part. employee. • The customer decides LATER to purchase the product. • Loans processed through the Internet. • Someone comes in to open an account, but end up opening it later or at • One referral for each customer regardless of the number of products if another branch. they were referred to one Specialized Employee. • You have an indication that someone may be interested in a product, • If a customer is referred to two different specialized employees for but don't initiate a conversation. Just giving the customer information to different products or services, then credit will be given for both products. a specialized employee is a LEAD, not a referral. • One type of referral will be allowed per customer per year. • One referral per buying unit / household.
