Intentional OnboardingJosh McAfee, Vice President of Marketing

We’ll cover• Dedicated onboarding flow• Effective segmentation• Success metrics (KPIs)• Onboarding ≠ selling, but involves it
Quick Profile
• Headquartered in Jackson, Tennessee• Chartered in 1957• Operations in three counties separated by 70
miles each (soon to be six counties)• $300M assets• 40,000 members• 1.12% ROA; 12.18% Capital• Many consecutive quarters 100%+ loan-to-share
The Loyalty Team• 7-person crack squad
• 1 manager, 2 in sales, 2 in service, 2 processors• Program has grown from one staffer in 2012• Originally developed as a response to
indirect lending growth
Workflow• Traditional new member mailing
• Local printer warehouses inventory and receives data file to automate delivery
• ALL members receive a “signed” welcome card from our staff
• Email educational series in first 300 days of membership
• 7 messages triggered by # days past join• Separate “paths” for direct and indirect
Welcome Card
PERKS offers
Effective Segmentation• Loyalty applies logic to in-person calls
• Minimum credit quality thresholds• Refinance opportunities• Competitor checking relationships
Segmentation (cont’d)• Warm welcome response dictates follow-
up• No-answers and cold-shoulders move to the
bottom of the list• Expressed interest and purchase promises are
documented for all staff to view• Contact management software drives
daily schedule of communication
Meaningful Metrics• Length of membership is key
• However, first 120 days are indeed critical• Look at national averages to provide context
• Average checking rel. = 6 years• Average auto loan rel. = 28 months
• New money or buyout?• New money indicates you’re relevant.• Recapture indicates you’re selling to the need.
Metrics (cont’d)• Consider elements staff can control
• Volume and yield are controlled by outside factors
• For “young” onboarding programs, watch trends (e.g. average PPM/H, average balance, etc.)
• Direct vs. Indirect matters• Don’t expect comparable performance• Direct chose you; you chose indirect
Onboarding ≠ Selling• …but the two are related.
• Great onboarding should yield higher sales• Treat recapture/refinance as educational
opportunities for the new member• Prioritize service to drive brand loyalty• Context is key
• Is your onboarding performed by desk staff or in a dedicated environment?
• Is trust implicit or yet to be earned?

Importance of Onboarding
Royce NgiamAssistant Vice President, Marketing
Partners Federal Credit Unionroyce.ngiam@partnersfcu.orglinkedin.com/in/roycengiam
• Over 1 in 3 active Disney Cast Members, Employees, and Imagineers
• Senior Executives to Hourly Attractions Attendants
• Over 127,000 Members
• $1.4 Billion Assets
• 13 Branches, California and Florida
There’s only one metric that matters, everything else is nice to know.
Confirmation Bias – Peter Watson
• Online Banking (Mobile Banking, Remote Deposit Capture, <whatever vendor is trying to sell you>) is a sticky service.
• People who move are more likely to leave the CU.• It’s cheaper to keep an existing member than acquire a new
one.
The tendency of people to favor information, true or not, that confirms their preexisting beliefs.
Partners Attrition Study• Attrition as a catalyst• 2/3 of the closed accounts were to members in our lowest
engagement deciles.• 58/43 distribution of mobile banking users between closed
accounts – no correlation• 35/65 distribution of online banking users between closed accounts
– would seem that online banking users are more likely to attrite!• Over ½ the members that closed their accounts did so in the first 2
years. Over 1/3 closed in the first year.
Products and services don’t make members engaged and loyal.Effective onboarding is key – set them up for success.

Branch Participation 2-2-2• 2 Days – Handwritten Thank You Note• 2 Weeks – Service Call• 2 Months – Sales Call
Closing Thoughts• Engagement is the goal, the product sales will become easier
and more organic.• Messaging must be relevant and timely, with digestible
content that benefits the member.• Onboarding is a series of activities, not a one shot or matrix
deal.• Consider your sustainment plan – it’s as important as your
onboarding.
The uninformed must improve their deficit,or die.
