Banks and credit unions balance technology and in-person service
By Michael Daigle
For XCEL Federal Credit Union, the 21st century form of banking was thrust upon them
by the attack on the World Trade Center, where its headquarters was located.
“As tragic as that day was, on Sept. 2 our members still needed access to their
accounts,” said XCEL director of marketing Thomas Quigley. “So our members taught
themselves about remote access.”
The result: Before Sept. 11, 14 percent of XCEL transactions were done remotely.
Today, the figure is about 96 percent, Quigley said.
XCEL’s tagline is “United Service and Technology.” While the credit union has claimed
that tag, it describes the trend in the banking and credit union industry.
New technologies, younger customers and the need to keep up with social and life
changes have created the need for financial institutions to change their delivery models,
including the creation of smart phone apps that give a consumer direct access to services,
industry insiders said.
At the same time, maintaining physical branches remains an important part of their
business model, they add.
Millennials are “more
into speed, security (and)
convenience and not so
much into building
personal relationships,”
Quigley said. “They

But that does
not always last,
said Dittrich
of Provident
Bank, which is
why local bank
branches are still
important service
centers.
As the move to mobile
banking accelerates, banks
and credit unions are balancing
face-to-face experiences with
online service.
“A face-to-face visit allows our bankers to provide the personal service needed when a
customer wants advice or a recommendation on the best product or service to meet their
needs,” said Ronald Schwarz, senior executive vice president and chief revenue officer for

specific questions about the transactions, he added.
(Continued on page 5)
But the switch to technology is on.
Schwarz said Lakeland sees an annual shift to electronic banking of 10 to 15 percent.
Greg Dittrich, regional manager for Provident Bank, said roughly 50 percent of the
bank’s transactions are electronic and Powers of Garden Savings said, “a large majority of
our total transactions types are handed electronically, including deposits.”
Businesses learn how to make more sales
By Christopher Reardon
Dietrich added, “It’s about convenience and choices.”
A group of business owners and professionals recently learned how to double their sales
with no additional effort and increase their bottom line by 10 percent. All over breakfast.
The range of services offered by these institutions covers personal and business
accounts, free checking, mortgages, business services account such as cash flow
management and high level services such as wealth management.
The group was attending the Good Morning, Morris networking breakfast of the Morris
County Chamber of Commerce, which featured Carl Gould as the guest speaker. Gould is
president of 7 Stage Advisors, a business growth advisory firm.
The personal services that are transactional – deposits or loan payments, for example
– “are more easily handled online for those individuals who are comfortable with the
technology,” Powers said.
“In sales, it’s the last little bit of energy that gets the sale,” said. “You don’t get any
points for just showing up.
This is attractive to younger customers, the experts said.
“In most cases in business if you come in second, that’s fine. But the one place in
business you cannot come in second is in sales. In sales, there’s first place and no place.”
Gould told the audience if they get most of their business from referrals, they are friends
selling to friends. To reach their full sales potential they must become strangers selling to
strangers.
“The challenge of friends selling to friends is it will never stop,” he said. “You will
always have to keep coming back. You have to become strangers selling to strangers or
you’ll never get out of the loop.”

Businesses learn how to make more sales
To do this, businesses must “think
obnoxious,” Gould said.
They must make an obnoxious offer –
price their products or services in away no
one else does and make a promise no one
else makes.
“Make an offer in your niche market no
one else has the guts to make,” Gould said.
He encouraged the audience to identify
the number one problem their customers
face and promise they won’t have to deal
with it anymore.
“You can’t just make the standard offer,”
he said. “It has to be obnoxious.”
Gould advised them to double their price,
then double it again and to promise and
deliver extra value.
“If you create enough value for the
customer, price sensitivity goes away,” he
said.
Gould then provided the nine steps
for doubling sales and increasing the
bottom line by 10 percent: (1) Planning;
(2) Marketing; (3) Lead Generation; (4)
Conversation/Offers; (5) Qualifying; (6)
Transition; (7) Paperwork; (8) Approval;
and (9) Closing.

(Continued from page 1)
He then told them to improve their
performance in each of these steps by 10
percent – for example, qualify 11 potential
customers instead of 10 and make 11 offers
instead of 10.
Spend more time on your business,
less on your banking.
“Do each of the steps a little bit better and
you will double your sales,” he said.
By thinking obnoxiously and improving
each step of the selling process by 10
percent, businesses will reach their full
potential, Gould said.
“You’re doing so much right. You’re just
missing the last little bit,” he said.
Gould, who recently released a book
called Biz Development Done Right, which
he co-authored with Caryn Kopp of Kopp
Consulting, also partners with the chamber
to teach a 12-session business acceleration
program called HyperGrowth. The 2016
HyperGrowth program will begin June 2.
Gould and the chamber are offering
three free previews of the program,
March 29, April 7 and May 10, from
2:30 to 4:30 p.m. in Gould’s office in
Butler. To register by email contact him

branches. An older branch could have
been 3,500 square feet while new ones that
include ATMs can be 1,500 square feet, he
said.
It is all about how to balance customer
needs and the delivery of services.
The need to close or shift a branch
depends on market factors, as well, the
experts said.
In 2015 in New Jersey, 50 bank branches
were closed and 65 were opened, according
to the state Department of Banking and
Insurance.
Quigley of XCEL said site selection can
be a matter of how many members live
within two miles, highway location, the mix
of uses in the neighborhood and the age of
the population.
Powers said Garden State branches have
been in place for years and are “designed to
be conducive to the majority of our 25,000plus members in the communities and
organizations we serve.”

Powers said a Maplewood branch near
Seton Hall University is important as the
college is now a member of the credit
union.
Quigley said all parts of the banking
business are consolidating.
“It’s a combination of merger and
members taking advantage of remote
services,” he said. Cell phones are more
powerful than the computers on the Apollo
space ship, he said, and “people are harried,
running around with their kids. They need
to make things easier.”

Togneri of Garden Savings Federal Credit Union, an event sponsor; and David
Bruno of The Bianchi Law Group.
Powers added, “The challenge for the
financial industry on the whole becomes
how to manage and best utilize the right
resources so that the proper combination
of technology and live employees satisfies,
as best as possible, everyone from baby
boomers to millennials.”

For individuals, that means detailing

“The goal is to optimize the various

The Cutting Edge ...
Economic development means jobs
The Morris County Chamber of Commerce is fortunate to have a strong
partnership with the Morris County Board of Freeholders and many leading
private sector companies in our region to promote economic development.
The Morris County Economic Development Corporation (MCEDC), a
division of the chamber, serves as the economic development arm of the
county and works to retain the jobs we have and attract new investment and jobs to our area.
Economic development is a competitive game, with municipalities, counties and states all
competing against each other for capital investment. As we know, New Jersey does not score
well on many business climate studies comparing costs from state to state. We will never be
a low-cost state but we have so many positive attributes that are important for investors and
employers.
First is our talented work force. Companies know they can find the people they need here
to operate their businesses. The New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania region represents
the crossroads of business on the East Coast and our proximity to Wall Street is a plus for
many larger multinational companies. Our ports and airports provide opportunities for all
businesses to grow around the world. The Christie administration also has worked hard to
reduce business taxes and reach out to the business community.
Here in Morris County we have some of the best K-12 schools, open space and responsible
county and municipal governments looking to support business growth.
So as one business leader said in a recent meeting I attended, “Let’s stop apologizing for
ourselves and get more aggressive about promoting all the good things we can offer investors.”
We recently met with the Freeholder Budget Committee to discuss what some of our options
might be in this regard. Some of our biggest developers have told us we should be spending
more time promoting our region at major industry trade shows, such as BIO-NJ, and other
industry gatherings. We know that over time the costs of doing business in New York City
will drive some companies to look westward. Is there a way for us to promote Morris County
as a hub for technology companies as well as pharmaceuticals, for instance?
An important factor for success is our relationships with local officials. In many cases they
provide the necessary permits for companies to renovate buildings and secure approvals. We
recently worked with a billion dollar company moving to Parsippany that had a very tight
move-in schedule and the mayor and his team did a great job in turning around the necessary
permits.
We also know that our competitor communities around the country spend money on digital
marketing programs and professional videos. We’re looking at these and other options to
improve our online profile to give people globally a better sense of the advantages they can
enjoy by investing in Morris County.
On Friday, March 4, we will host our Annual MCEDC Awards Luncheon with Bob
Ackerman, vice president and US country head real estate and facility services at Novartis, as
our keynote luncheon speaker. Bob played a leadership role in the expansion of the company’s
East Hanover site over the last decade, anchoring more than 5,000 jobs in Morris County.
A pre-luncheon panel comprising leading developers and major property-owners in Morris
County will begin at 10:30 a.m. and will focus on several significant economic development
projects currently underway in Morris County.
Please attend and learn about many significant investments being made in Morris County.

Berkeley College has announced that Heather C. Briccetti,
Esq., has been elected to the Berkeley College Board of
Trustees. Briccetti is president and chief executive officer
of The Business Council of New York State, Inc., the
primary statewide association advocating for New York’s

The college also announced that Diane Recinos, senior
vice president, enrollment management, has been named
one of New Jersey’s 2016 Best 50 Women in Business
by NJBIZ. The award recognizes women who have made
outstanding contributions to New Jersey in their industries
and in their communities.
Though concerned by the continuing
downward shift of the stock market,
wealth managers and financial advisors
in Morris County say their clients are
insulated because their short- and longterm plans are designed to withstand
sharp drops in the market.
“Don’t get caught up in emotion,” said
Jim McCarthy of Directional Wealth
Management in Rockaway.
“The thing I’m telling my clients is to
have a plan, a roadmap, and part of that
roadmap is how we deal with bumps in
the road,” he added. “Those bumps are
going to come but because we’ve built
that into the plan, we’ve accounted for
that.
“The types of assets they own
minimize the impact. I keep reminding
clients we have a plan. Let’s stick with
the plan.”
In business 13 years as a certified
financial planner and a New Jersey
Monthly Five Star Wealth Manager two
years in a row, McCarthy underlines the
need to understand an investor’s horizon.

In addition, for the third consecutive year, Berkeley has

Friedman LLP has announced the promotion of five
employees to partner. John M. Bono was promoted to partner in the Tax Services
department. He is a graduate of St. John’s University with a bachelor’s degree
in economics and is a CPA. Brian Kristiansen was promoted to partner in the
Tax Services department. He is a graduate of Lousinana State University with a
bachelor’s degree in management information systems and Baruch College with a
master’s degree in accountancy and is a CPA.
Susan Miano was promoted to partner in the Forensic Accounting, Litigation
Support and Valuation Services Group. She is a graduate of St. Francis College
with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and is a CPA. Scott Stavin was promoted to
partner in the Tax Services department. He is a graduate of Binghamton University
with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and Fairleigh Dickinson University with a
master’s degree in taxation and a graduate certificate in corporate taxation. Geoffrey
Wilson was promoted to partner in the Tax Services department. He is a graduate
of the University of Pittsburgh with a bachelor’s degree in accounting and Baruch
College with a master’s degree in taxation.
“If you’re talking about a long-term
horizon of 10-plus years (the current
market downturn) shouldn’t be a major
concern,” he said. “A shorter-term
horizon presents some concern.
“It also depends on where you are in
the life-cycle. If you’re getting ready to
retire, this is pretty scary. If you’re 30 or
40 years old, contributing to a 401(k) or
SEP account, this is a great time. You’re
getting to invest money at discounted
rates.”
Kim Luthy of Allied Wealth Partners
in Parsippany has been making calls
to hundreds of clients to provide
reassurances but she is finding most of
them are not worried.
“I am proactively reaching out and the
response I get most is, ‘Thanks for the
call. It’s been on my mind but I know
we’re good,’” she said. “The crux of
what I do is not only building wealth but
helping them protect it.
“This is not something out of the
ordinary,” she added. “Every six-seven
7
“Every six-seven years
we see a pull back, a
correction…if our goals
remain what they were
when we first sat down,
we will only have to
make minor changes.”
years we see a pull back, a correction.
Historically, this has happened before and
if our goals remain what they were when
we first sat down, we will only have to
make minor changes.”
Luthy said her clients understand they
need to look at the bigger picture.
“I just had a client in here today to go
over their portfolio and compared to the
markets, our portfolio is not down as
much because we immunize them from
the peaks and valleys in the market,” she
said.
David Greenberg of Integrated
Planning Concepts in Livingston shares
Luthy’s broader view of the market.
“To me, the story has never changed,”
he said. “It’s always the same, always has
been. This has happened many times in
the past and will in the future. It’s part of
the normal flow of the market.
“So if you’re the type of person
investing money in the market and there
is risk of any kind, ideally it needs to be
understood that the investment is for the
longer-term purposes. When you have a
longer-term view of the money, the shortterm volatility is not as much a concern.
“The message I give to clients is, ‘Be
balanced and don’t have all your eggs
in one basket,” he added. “The kind of
planning I do has clients place their assets
in guaranteed securities and insurancebased programs so they are insulated
from market risk.”
As a result, Greenberg said he is not
getting a lot of calls because clients do
not have to deal with volatility or because
they expect volatility for the portion of
their portfolio earmarked for the market.
“They’re not scared or nervous,” he
said. “They understand ups and downs
are part of the overall plan.”
