Nick Miller, president of Clarity Advantage, will moderate the session “Small Business in the Branches” on March 14, 2011 at the 16th Annual Best Practices in Retail Financial Services Symposium where attendees will hear from three banks that have developed successful branch small business programs.

Concord, MA, March 10, 2011 --(PR.com)-- What do banks need to change to make small business work in the branches? Bankers attending the Best Practices in Retail Financial Services Symposium in Miami, Fla., March 13-15, 2011 will have a unique opportunity to hear what has worked in Zions Bank, Keybank, and Regions Bank in order to position their banks’ branches for small business growth.

On March 14, 2011 from 2:00 PM – 2:45 PM, Nick Miller, bank small business sales specialist and president of Clarity Advantage, will moderate the session entitled, “Small Business in the Branches.” Joining Miller to discuss their branch small business programs will be Lori Chillingworth, executive vice president, small business, Zions Bank; Maria Coyne, executive vice president, Keybank; and Lynetta Tipton Steed, executive vice president & community banking division head, Regions Bank.

Miller says, “Banks continue to experiment with structures and strategies to address small businesses. These three banks have been successful in several aspects of small business; we believe their ‘lessons learned’ about segmentation boundaries, compensation plans, and support structures point to practices that will be important for all banks as they increase attention on this segment.”
