Financial Services

Financial Services organizations compete on client experience. But all too often, these same companies rely on outdated procedures that generate silos and result in disjointed and unpleasant journeys for their customers. We can help create Financial Services experiences that put customers at the heart of everything you do.

Tear down the walls within your organization; deliver more for your customers through modern channels.

At Gerent, we empower best-in-class financial services organizations to deliver omnichannel experiences that make consumers feel seen, valued, and supported.

“I feel like we’ve hit a wall. We’re struggling to grow our existing relationships and expand our non-interest income stream.

Our Point of View

Consumers are more stressed than ever before, and it's easy to see why. Inflation is rising, interest rates are skyrocketing, and market uncertainty has become a daily reality. Customers and members are understandably anxious about their finances — and when worst-case scenarios happen, they need well-informed, compassionate support from their financial services providers.

This white paper will explain how the banking industry can use Salesforce’s real-time CRM capabilities to operationalize customer data and deliver well-informed, empathetic service during the moments that matter most.

Episode 27: So You’ve Just Implemented Salesforce… Now What? Evaluating Salesforce’s Impact

Salesforce implementation is no small feat – it usually costs millions of dollars, and requires weeks (or months) of training, process overhauling, and more. But for many businesses, once the deployment is done, there’s a dreaded question waiting: “Now what?” Without a clear idea of which metrics to monitor post-implementation, teams often struggle to confirm ROI and often risk overlooking key stumbling blocks or opportunities for iterative improvement.
