Best Practices In Multichannel Financial Services Sales

The rapid development of customer touchpoints, increasing customer expectations, and the pressure for success in the competitive market forces eBusiness and channel strategy executives at financial firms to drive multichannel sales. While this is not an easy task, executives at leading financial firms have implemented effective multichannel sales processes.
