Good day all. Let's make this thread a place to help us grow in our banking line. As we know, the banking industry employs from all fields but you will need consistent self development to measure up or even unsurp the performance of your colleagues whose bases are in the financial desciplines.

Here, we will share personal experience as it concerns how well to remain relevant and build on that relevance. What professional courses are necessary. Our long and short term goal.

All ideas are welcome. ex bankers or aspiring ones. Welcome on board!

The over rated targets and job insecurity in the banking industry should be looked into. It's not encouraging at all

Every dept with its target & Somtyms very unrealistic too... how hav u guys been coping?

somehow true the marketers feel the heat most, bt in a bank there are tbills bonds fx traders, IT related roles,operations, internal auditors/control, finance and reporting etc. sometimes I wonder who is really a banker as perceived by Nigerians

Any organisation that needs growth needs a marketing force, this set of people ensure the products and services of the organisation gets patronage hence no marketing no growth organisation.

As regards the crazy target, it's truly crazy! However human naturally are lazy and just a few are self motivated.
This target ensure every sales person is on his or her feet, always selling continuously. The unrealisticness is to ensure you get to the peak of your elasticity, this enables the organisation get maximum value for your service.

Pls Note
Banking marketing is way easier that Insurance marketing, as everyone needs a bank irrespective of the age however not everyone sees insurance as a need.

The bank hires and fires irrespective of your educational qualification or length of service, so the my noble colleagues, always have a back up plan and don't get distracted with the entire banking job, cos we are building another man's empire and not ours.

I just think the unrealistic targets are to grind out the best from employees. The banks don't really expect you to meet those targets.
The way forward is giving your possible best and having a clear conscience that you couldn't have done better!

Banks still fire those who meet their targets, so everyone is susceptible to being fired.

I am telling you!

No one is immune, as long as you are an employee.

One must prepare for exit from the first day of resumption.

The best thing that can happen to any young Nigerian banker is to develop yourself professionally and learn as much you can learn.

How true is it that bankers live a fake life..meaning they don't portray what they are worth?

sexual harassment and corporate prostitution should also be looked into...

Also unrealistic financial targets imposed on Marketing team should also be looked into....

Bankers are my friend

Nice thread,

Better resign & start doing a biz with the little doe you've got. A Teller/canter/marketer has no solid future with any bank unless......... U know the rest
