Special Report Helps Solutions Providers Identify High Growth Potential Bank Clients

Special report highlights the seven characteristics of sincerely growth oriented banks, and the implications for solutions providers as they position themselves to market to those banks in a challenging economy.

Sunriver, OR (PRWEB) April 2, 2008 -- Lisa Nirell of EnergizeGrowth.com, along with a core team of nationwide consultants, recently interviewed community bank CEOs regarding their growth plans to help solutions providers target their marketing to growth oriented, high potential banking clients. The results of this landmark study with community bank CEOs (http://www.energizegrowth.com/bankgrowth.shtml) are now available as a free special report until May 15, 2008.

This report highlights the seven characteristics of sincerely growth oriented banks, and the implications for solutions providers as they position themselves to market to those banks.

According to Nirell, "Companies that provide products, advisory services, and solutions for banks (solutions providers) are as essential to a healthy economy as our bank institutions. They keep companies running effectively, efficiently, and more predictably, and they also introduce innovations that banks can apply from other industries. Our study confirmed that banks are, generally speaking, famously conservative, driven by hard data and return on investment metrics, and slow to change and innovate. As many community banks begin to bunker down and take a wait and see attitude, it becomes even tougher for

solutions providers (http://www.energizegrowth.com/bankgrowth.shtml) to make a positive impact."

In this study, Nirell and the team identify community banks that have emerged as contrarians who have bucked these generalities. Adds Lisa, "We wanted this study to accurately reflect a challenging landscape that solutions providers in the banking sector must learn to either navigate successfully or abandon."
