5. Reich should make the car loan to the niece for a few reasons: 1.

This was the niece of a very important and long-time customer of the bank. It would be important not to alienate this important customer. 3. When the CRM system doesn’t provide information necessary Reich should advocate for this customer because of her potential like she is a fresh MBA grad that could be a good source of future revenue or she could be a potential customer for a credit card.
The interest rate that should be provided should be at least prime + 2.5% so it at least competes with that of what the dealership is offering.
6. I think there are a couple of options that the bank can look at when dealing with the highly unprofitable customers: 1. They can have flat – rate packages to cover some of the costs that are making these customers unprofitable. 2. They can slowly try to phase out ABMs and they can start with geographies that have the customers who keep the lower balances in their accounts. If they take this phased approach, it would at least make it a little predictable to other customers that this is likely coming. You can let customers know well ahead of time and offer them some kind of one-time incentive to stay with the bank.

Armstrong’s team used branch-level data from the CSI system as the primary source of research. As a result the concept of “comfortable banking” is directly translated into customers satisfaction during their interaction with tellers in the bank, since almost every criteria in the CSI is measuring representative service behaviors. One thing that the team failed to see is that “comfortable banking” could include a much wider scope of services that customers value therefore consider important to their experience: the products itself and services provided outside the bank for instance. According to Armstrong, “comfortable banking” positioning stands for the branding of the overall experience TD Canada Trust delivers to its clients. The financial products, as the core business of any banks throughout the world, should be counted as part of the service, too.

The choice of NAB to reduce their products offered could potentially result in a loss of existing clientele, if these customers prioritised the use of these products. In this case, this customer segment may be inclined to move to a competing bank which offers the specific product the customer requires.

RBS also took advantage of the government’s asset protection plan so that they could categorize the unwanted assets backed by taxpayers.

The vehicles will need a CARFAX report available to give a detailed list of possible accidents, service record, number of owners, and the states where the vehicle has been registered.

2) Both the WBC and RBC values are considered as normal. This is because the WBC is within the normal range of 0 to 5 cells per field examined, while the RBC is within its normal range of 0 to 2 cells field examined on the slide.

This means that the bacteria are in large numbers in the urine. The positive Nitrite is due to the large number of bacteria present, because bacteria is able to convert Nitrate in the urine into Nitrite. And since Nitrate is normally present in the urine of a person who eats green-leafy vegetables, large amount of bacteria present is able to convert it to Nitrite. The presence of bacteria accompanied by large WBC indicates a urinary tract infection. But the WBC is normal in this case.
