"You've got to give. You've got to make more deposits into that bank account before you try to make a withdrawal. So instead of going right to the connection request and the dreaded 'pitch slap', just 'Follow' them. You don't have to send the connection request yet." - Steve Watt #b2bsales #socialselling #marketingprofs #demandgeneration #growthmarketing Seismic

Imagine there is a bank account that credits your account each morning with $86,400. It carries over no balance from day to day. Every evening the bank deletes whatever part of the balance you failed to used during the day. What would you do? Draw out every cent, of course? Each of us has such a bank, it's name is time. Every morning, it credits you 86,400 seconds. Every night it writes off at a lost, whatever of this you failed to invest to a good purpose. It carries over no balance. It allows no over draft. Each day it opens a new account for you. Each night it burns the remains of the day. If you fail to use the day's deposits, the loss is yours. There is no drawing against "tomorrow". You must live in the present on today's deposits. Invest it so as to get from it the utmost in health, happiness, and health. The clock is running. Make the most of today. Marc Levy 👌🏼

Let's say you spend $2.00 on a coffee a day That's $2 per day x 7 days a week=$14 We take that $14 x 52 weeks in a calendar year = $728 Now after one year it's $728 worth of coffee you spent. Let's take that amount and save/invest it -  $728 is in your bank account -  You put $50 away bi-wkly -  let it grow for 25 years with a projected     interest rate 9% -  you'll get $121,463.29 -  $728 is in your bank account -  You put $150 away bi-wkly -  let it grow for 25 years with a projected     interest rate 9% -  you'll get $351,834.67 -  $728 is in your bank account -  You put $400 away bi-wkly -  let it grow for 25 years with a projected     interest rate 9% -  you'll get $927,763.12 Do I have your attention for your financial future?

I can always count on bankregdata.com to have a graph that starts me thinking. The drop in core deposits in the last 5 quarters is eye-opening. Combine that with the fact that the current rate environment puts rate-shopping back into high gear (online, BTW). The upshot? ALCO is in the spotlight. Things Banks need to think about: 1. Price to retain just as much as pricing for new money. Data-driven, proactive renewal offers are a must. 2. Don't count on deposit inertia anymore. Not a good bet with so much pricing information at depositor fingertips. 3. Make sure it's easy for customers to move money to you digitally.
