BANK LESSONS FROM JOINT VENTURES AND AGENCY ACQUISITIONS by Robert Smith The trade press has been filled over the course of the past two years with announcements of banks entering the agency business. Passage of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act and the move by the banking industry to become full-service financial services supermarkets' has led many banks to be aggressive in considering the opportunities available to them in the insurance field. A recent study conducted by Reagan Consulting for the Association of Banks in Insurance (ABI) found that almost two-thirds of all banks entering the Property/Casualty and Group/Life insurance business have done so through acquisition or joint venture with a local or regional agency. For the banks that have already gone down this road, a number of important lessons have been learned. It's better to slightly overpay for a really good agency than to buy a poor agency at a great price. Pricing, terms, and conditions for an agency purchase vary significantly, but generally have fallen in the relatively predictable range of 1.25 to 1.75 times historical revenues. After the transaction, the buyers of poor ...

... designed by an amateur or one that's 30 years old? What's the subtle effect of using a heavier paper stock for letterhead, versus a thin but far less expensive paper? What impression do customers have when a company responds to requests weeks or days later instead of immediately? What's the impact of a projected presentation typed with black letters on a white background versus one that's professionally designed in a graphics computer program? How does image advertising influence the perception of customers and prospects? What's the effect of a newsletter that looks like an ad and contains self-serving material? How effective is a Web site in attracting customers when every page is company-focused versus one that provides visitors with helpful information? How do we feel about a fast-food restaurant when we're forced to wait in a long line? How about the supermarket that opens checkouts according to the flow of customers? What impression does a company make when it delivers orders more quickly than promised? Clearly, business is about impressions. The psychological literature is filled with examples of studies verifying that misjudgments result from incomplete or misleading information. In one such study, for example, a group was asked to memorize a list of words that included terms of praise, while another group was asked to memorize a list that included scornful terms. Both groups then undertook an ostensibly different task in which they read an ambiguous news story about a young man. When questioned, the first group was much more positive about the young man than were those in the second group, presumably because the type of words each group had just memorized came to mind. This study ...

... reflect a tentative commitment. In marketing and sales programs, this translates into campaigns that start with a flourish and either fade away quickly or are replaced with some other effort that soon disappears. What's extolled as "agility" and "flexibility" is often nothing more than an inability to stay on course and follow through. Admittedly, many of these "programs" are ill-conceived and poorly executed. Product promotions, sales contests, direct mail campaigns, Web site maintenance, and publishing newsletters are frequently efforts that die quickly. An inability to sustain projects shows that there's a difference between being committed and just talking about it. Think "program." An inability to plan programs can be one of a manager's most serious deficiencies. For example, some bank employees were going to be relocated to supermarket branches, so a training session was set up for them that involved planning basic promotions. Groups were asked to develop a month-long program for promoting a bank product. Two of the three groups designed posters; the third group outlined a schedule of events, activities, with announcements to take place during the entire 30-day period. Which team do you think was most objective? In another situation, the principal of a Long Term Care insurance organization asked a marketing agency to develop a direct mail piece for businesses. The agency's rep asked, "What do you want to do as a follow-up to the initial mailing?" Caught off guard, the executive didn't know how to answer the question. These aren't isolated examples. A "one-shot" mentality is pervasive in business, but marketing and ...
