What I HAVE What I OWE
All this does not tell us much about our income or
expenses during a given period of time
This would be shown in other reports, i.e.

The mission and product range of a bank
The mission and product range of a bank will be reflected in
the balance sheet, its main elements, in the profit and loss
statement as well as its cash flow statement
Looking at balance sheet items as a sum of products sold
• A car financing loan = a product
• A 2 year deposit = a product
![Page 59: Selling financial services TEB Kosovo 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081720/554c680fb4c905f76f8b4aa3/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
59
Why is it important to look at it this way?
•A product has a cost, a contribution to the profit margin…
and a « risk profile »
•A product needs to be accounted for
•A product requires branding
![Page 60: Selling financial services TEB Kosovo 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081720/554c680fb4c905f76f8b4aa3/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
60
What is a product?
A product has a cost price, a potential revenue and a «risk profile »
High price
No demand
Low price
No profit
Product cost
Competition
Perceived value
Risk profile
![Page 61: Selling financial services TEB Kosovo 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081720/554c680fb4c905f76f8b4aa3/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
61
What is a product?
• One can state that factors, such as attitudes to risk, to debt,
to the need for security will affect customers’ perception.
• Therefore, a segmentation of the customer base on revenues
and socio-demographic data is one of the best tools to
optimise product distribution and development
• Furthermore, a good segmentation allows to determine to
which extend customers could be approached in an automated
way - distribution strategy.

What is the role of Treasury?
The primary objective of the Treasury is to manage liquidity
by investing in short and long-term portfolios,
as defined in duly approved guidelines,
while optimising performance and yields within the market,
as well as the Bank’s credit and liquidity risk policies.

85

safety to maintain public confidence in the bank's ability
to continue as a going concern;
– To protect uninsured depositors and other creditors
in the event of liquidation of the bank;
4_ Capital risk

Problems in Determining Bank Profitability
– cash flows do not occur when interest is earned or
payable, interest income/expense has to be accrued
– changes in value of assets/liabilities are essential
components of profitability and so must be adjusted
regularly by provisions or revaluations
– banks carry and transact in several currencies
5_ Profit risk

89
Problems in Determining Bank Profitability
– receipts and payments have to be split between
interest and capital
– gains/losses from maturity mismatches are mixed up
with commercial profits
– shared costs make product pricing difficult
– bank regulators in different countries establish
different reporting policies

The question central bankers must answer is: “What is
the correct money supply level?” The easy answer is
enough to buy all the goods and services produced, so
that full employment is reached without a rise in
prices”.

P.Q = M.V • P = price level of goods and services
• Q = quantity of goods and services produced in a national economy (= GDP)

Case 10
Mr. Pizon
Your responsibility is the handling of the private customers
with ventures in EU countries. You enjoy being the account
officer of Mr. Pizon who owns a few restaurants in Trieste. In
fact you think he is a decent fellow but rather ignorant as far
as markets is concerned. You do offer a definite added
value, which is a nice feeling.
However, you have noticed that the monies deposited in the
account have risen quite substantially above the average of
previous quarters and wonder why this is the case.
Q: How would you discuss the issue with Mr. Pizon?
![Page 198: Selling financial services TEB Kosovo 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081720/554c680fb4c905f76f8b4aa3/html5/thumbnails/198.jpg)

loan to finance the purchase of a new car. They have
some savings with the bank in an amount higher than
the value of the car.

be reasonable, despite the fact that you feel Mrs.
Markovic to be quite nervous to say the least.
• How would you negotiate with the couple in front of
you?

![Page 199: Selling financial services TEB Kosovo 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081720/554c680fb4c905f76f8b4aa3/html5/thumbnails/199.jpg)
Case 12
• You are branch manager and the number two has been
promoted to head another branch,
• Two persons, Ian and Donika, would like to get that
open slot. However you believe that Ian is not as well up
to the task as Donika,

not have the promotion, he thinks he deserves.
• YOUR goal is to keep him motivated despite his
disappointment

Case 13
• You are an account manager in a main branch and have
been called upon to meet Ms. Cecelia, who has a two
year time deposit with you in the amount of 20,000 Euro.
• She is an accountant, about 40.

• The meeting starts on a difficult note as she could not
find a parking space, it is raining and the local news of
the day mentions a possible collapse of the banking
system, at least as we know it.

![Page 201: Selling financial services TEB Kosovo 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081720/554c680fb4c905f76f8b4aa3/html5/thumbnails/201.jpg)
Case 14
• You are an account manager visiting a prospect, a small
import/export company for hard and software.
• This is your first visit. You checked available data and
have the impression that there must be some
opportunities at hand.
• How would you go about it?
201
![Page 202: Selling financial services TEB Kosovo 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081720/554c680fb4c905f76f8b4aa3/html5/thumbnails/202.jpg)
Case 15
• You are a branch manager and are facing a key issue
that poisons the atmosphere in the branch.
• The two tellers of the branch, both relatively new
employees do not co-operate with each other for breaks
and lunch time schedule.
• It seems that instead of helping each other they do the
opposite. This has not only an impact on the branch but
also on the customer service.
• You decide to call a meeting to solve the issue,
• How will you sell the idea that a smooth operation is
essential and will benefit all stakeholders.

you are indeed on the same wavelength,
207
![Page 208: Selling financial services TEB Kosovo 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081720/554c680fb4c905f76f8b4aa3/html5/thumbnails/208.jpg)

agree with the decision.

and view this as a positive step towards a high quality
decision.

one person is purchasing. Look for the possible merit of
each other's opinions.

decision in a rational manner rather than an emotional
one.
10. If the meeting gets off track re-focus the discussion on
the desired result.

should be limited
• It is always worthwhile to listen to people
• A problem is a solution in disguise

idea fail?

Conclusions
Various factors play AGAINST us, such as
The changing environment
The pressure on margins
The pressure on market share
The need for substantial investments in IT
The lack of customer loyalty
The lack of differentiation possibilities
![Page 247: Selling financial services TEB Kosovo 2012](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081720/554c680fb4c905f76f8b4aa3/html5/thumbnails/247.jpg)
247
Conclusions
The making or breaking point is people and systems providing:
There is a market
There is a purchasing power
There are products matching the demand
There is a culture of cost avoidance in order to prevent
cost cutting
There is a culture of marketing and not just PR or
advertising
There is a culture of HR
There is a culture of WINNING
