How To Reach Out To High Networth Individuals

Posted by Anonymous on 500 Points
As part of my new business development initiative, i need to revert to a prospect, a well known bank in India, with a proposal to ramp-up its deposit mobilization.

It believes that the major source of these deposits will NOT be from existing customers; main acquisition targets will be the many hi net-worth individuals (who have at least Rs.10 lacs to put in a fixed deposit with the bank). Right now their money is lying in public sector banks.

We will test the proposal in the next 3-6 months before extending nationally to achieve much bigger targets.

I am looking for ideas to make my TA over come their inertia to with draw money from the current bank and deposit in the new one.

Can anyone be of help? Don't worry about the practicality of the thought in the Indian context. I am looking for as many thoughts on this as possible. Need good creative ideas. I can build on them myself.

    Manu Rajan,

    Without knowing the value propositions and competitive differentiation between you and your competitors it is hard to answer this as I would like, but, I know that here in the US, the smaller banks have been successful in converting high-net worth individuals over by offering them the highest level of personalized customer service, expert guidance, comprehensive financial plans and strategies, competitive products, and convenient access to state-of-the-art technologies.

    Some examples:

    https://www.johnsonbank.com/

    https://www.sunrisebankofarizona.com/

    https://www.camelbackbank.com/

    I hope that helps.

    Hi

    a couple of thoughts that have worked for others:

    are there some events to which money can't buy access? I'm in the UK, so my examples might be
    - Goodwood Festival of Speed VIP tickets
    - Circle seats @ premiere ballet company + reception before
    - Invitation only celebrity dinner
    etc etc.
    Offer these to your custmers and their invited guests. The guests are prospects.

    Or, how about researching a few, very specific target customers. Find out what their personal interests are. If it's billiards, send them a personalised (& branded) ball set. If it's clothing, invite them to a shop's season preview, out of regular shopping hours.

    You'll notice that these are targeted as much at 'she' as 'he' - it's tough to find exclusive things for 'her' to do!

    Manu,

    In the past one of the better and most successful strategies to capture people was the inclusion of sweepstake and drawings in the savings accounts, where important prizes were given (houses, cars, trips around the world).

    Today this is the common one, but we can apply the same technique. To design a Great and Big Contest, like the monopoly game (get wealthy), where everyone participate and talk about, fabulous prizes be gained, all the family participation, luck and knowledge influence (Bank and Financial products Topics).

    Bye,
