This week we feature an article by Eddie Davis, VP of Business Development for FINSYNC. He offers tips on how to engage and maintain loyal customers.
Ensuring that your customers are satisfied and eager to return is the lifeblood of a growing business. Providing a quality product or service that exceeds expectations is only the beginning. Turning first-time customers into repeat patrons these days is all about communication.
Social media, online review portals, email and other forms of digital communications have torn down the walls that once separated customers from businesses. Customers no longer have to accept waiting on hold on a customer service line to ask questions. They can post the question publicly and get responses in minutes. More importantly, they can share their experience using a company’s offerings with the rest of the online world.
Rather than shun this reality, savvy businesses are leaning into the opportunities for more direct, instant exchanges with customers as a means to address their questions and concerns, and to glean valuable feedback that can inform their upcoming offerings.
Here are some strategies that can help you keep your existing customers satisfied and coming back:
Embrace Customer Feedback
It’s essential to establish tools and practices that encourage customers to provide continuous feedback. A way to do this is to set up easy lines of communication online and ensure that you respond to customers’ posts quickly. Creating online surveys can be a powerful and inexpensive tool to gain feedback on a new product or service. Let’s say you’re going to make changes and want to make sure they’re working for your customers. Emailing an online survey or including it in a regular newsletter can yield valuable insights. And your customers will appreciate the opportunity to communicate how they feel directly, rather than having to go to an online review portal or social media. With surveys, it’s wise to let customers post anonymously, which ensures they will provide honest answers. It’s that honest level of feedback that will ultimately help you improve your business and customer retention. And speaking of social media, it’s essential to keep tabs on what’s being said about your company on the major sites, especially online review portals. Some customers may look for answers by posting on your own social media pages, which you should be able to easily spot and then provide a response to ensure they’re satisfied. But in many cases, customers will give feedback without directly messaging or linking to your company’s social media account. It may seem daunting to track what anyone is saying about your company online, but there are tools that enable you to automate this task by seeking out when your company is mentioned.Respond Quickly
Seeking out and monitoring customer feedback is only part of the customer retention equation. To close the loop on this effectively, you have to make it a priority to respond on a timely basis, even if it’s just to inform them that you’re working on their request. The goal is to make sure customers feel their concerns are being taken seriously. It also pays to be proactive. Set up a regular schedule of outreach, whether via email or other forms of direct contact, to invite customers to share questions or concerns they may have before you roll out a new offering. This is also a good opportunity to pitch customers on this new product or service.Reward Loyalty
A customer loyalty program is another tried and true way of increasing customer retention, and digital communications technology has made this easier than ever. Something as simple as discounts earned through points accumulated from previous purchases or even for filling out online surveys will serve as a tangible reward that your customers will come to appreciate and factor into their purchasing decisions. And, let’s be honest, such programs are increasingly expected by customers. A loyalty program will pay off in the end, because studies show it can cost five times more to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing one. And according to one study, a 5% increase in customer retention can increase profit by more than 25%.Offer Flexible Payment Options
Convenience, whether in the form of delivery options, product returns and exchanges, or customization, gives customers more reasons to stick with your business. The same principle applies to payment options. Technology has led to many innovations in how we access our funds and pay for goods and services. Offering flexible payment options can make the difference between landing a customer or seeing them go elsewhere. This is especially the case with younger consumers, who have become accustomed to using apps to make purchases. This doesn’t have to be expensive or onerous. Intuitive payment platforms make it easy for businesses to accept check, ACH, debit or credit card payments — even if you don’t have a merchant account set up. Focusing on staying adaptable with payment methods, social media engagement and other forms of technology-driven outreach shows your customers that you’re keeping their needs and preferences in mind. And that goes a long way to ensuring they keep coming back. Eddie Davis is the VP of Business Development for FINSYNC, a consolidated cash flow management platform focused on helping businesses grow.

A credit card can keep your small business afloat when cash flow is interrupted or the economic future is unclear, as many are finding out during the coronavirus pandemic. The federally-funded Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) dried up on April 16 and was replenished on April 24 with an additional $310 billion in forgivable loans — but it still may not be enough. Facing unexpected cash flow issues amid the unprecedented economic downturn, small business owners are scrambling to find resources to help them stay afloat and prepare for what may be years-long economic recovery. Many, like Bobby Warren of Wooster Media Group, look to credit cards to mitigate the current dip in revenue. “I paid some freelancers [this month] with my credit card in order to keep my business checking balance a little higher,” Warren tells CNBC Select. This helped Warren avoid late charges on what he owed, even as he was waiting on outstanding payments himself. To continue reading this post, please visit CNBC.com to view the original article.

OBSERVATIONS FROM THE FINTECH SNARK TANK
The second round of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) launched April 27, with complaints about the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) system to submit loan applications coming almost immediately from bankers. Curt Queyrouze, President of TAB Bank in Utah, tweeted: “Suspicious that big banks' xml files are getting processed first. Ninety minutes in and our team of 35 people haven't been able to submit one successful app (or even stay logged in).” On April 29, the SBA dedicated an eight-hour window to banks with less than $1 billion in assets and by the end of the week, the furor subsided. But the headaches for small businesses and banks have only just begun.The Looming PPP Forgiveness Nightmare
The Treasury’s guidelines for PPP loan forgiveness specify that: “Loan amounts will be forgiven as long as: 1) Loan proceeds are used to cover payroll costs, and most mortgage interest, rent, and utility costs over the 8 week period after the loan is made; and 2) Employee and compensation levels are maintained.” Easy-peasy right? Maybe not. To continue reading this post, please visit Forbes.com to view the original article.
Last week, we released an update to our online plug-and-play solution for community banks and credit unions to accept and process SBA PPP loan applications. We’re giving away this solution to banks and credit unions to help them process loan applications more quickly and get much needed funds in the hands of their small business customers faster during the COVID-19 crisis.
Shortly after the release of our new solution, we announced that one of the first banks to implement was Heritage Bank. The President of Heritage Bank, Leonard Moreland, was one of the first people to learn about Tucker Mathis’ vision for FINSYNC following the 2008 financial crisis. Heritage Bank is now well-positioned for “Round 2” of the PPP program. It's expected to be approved by Congress in the coming days.
What We Learned from PPP Round 1
As PPP “Round 2” approaches, we’ve had a few days to assess how $349 billion was loaned to over a million and a half small businesses by nearly 5,000 lenders in just 14 days. We believe the businesses that received funding had their application in the queue the day the PPP loan program was approved or shortly thereafter. What ensued was nothing less than a sprint to see how fast lenders could enter or upload applications into SBA’s ETran system to generate an official loan number and SBA approval. The banks with the best technology and processes in place were the ones who funded the most loans and helped the most people. The only exception was certain banks whose teams put forth herculean effort, working extraordinary hours manually processing applications to keep up with those who had better technology. Similar to “round 1”, we believe lenders in aggregate are already holding applications that will more than exhaust the $250 billion of additional funding pending approval by congress. So, when PPP Round 2 is approved and available for loans, it’s imperative that we help smaller banks process these loans quicker. In an effort to ensure the new funding is more broadly distributed across businesses of all sizes throughout America.How We Can Make PPP Round 2 Better
Back in 2009, when Tucker Mathis and Leonard Moreland envisioned the future of business banking, they did not see the COVID-10 pandemic coming, but they did know that it’s never been a more important time for businesses and banks to use the same technology to get in sync with one another. We are giving our PPP loan solution to banks and credit unions. During this pandemic and resulting economic storm, we are intentionally choosing to measure our success by the number of businesses we can help get funding faster, and the number of new banks and credit unions we can empower with a new, high-level style of relationship banking, which our platform was purposefully built to support.Free Tools for Lenders and Their Customers
Any lender can be up and running in minutes with our online SBA loan application. Banks can sign up here, or request further information. Small businesses can learn everything they need to know about PPP, calculate their exact average monthly payroll cost, and apply online. Also, while we’re going to see hundreds of billions of dollars put into the bank accounts of small businesses all over the country businesses and lenders have to track the expenditure of these loans so that the maximum amount of each loan can be forgiven. Our Lender’s Portal not only handles the complete SBA PPP Loan application, but we’ve also built in forgiveness tracking for both the lender and the business.Round 2 Is Coming
Round 2 of the Payroll Protection Program is coming. Businesses are eagerly waiting. Your bank or credit union can be ready today.
Community banks prepare for the second tranche of SBA PPP loans with a “plug-and-play” FinTech solution for automating loan applications.
This article was originally published on BusinessWire.com.
ATLANTA, GA - April 17, 2020, FINSYNC, Inc., a leading provider of payment technologies and cash flow management software, continues its momentum in partnering with small and local lenders to provide their business borrowers with significantly faster loan processing and funding for the SBA’s Payroll Protection Program (PPP) via a “plug-and-play” online loan application and Lender’s Portal.
“The first $349 billion was applied for and allocated in less than 14 days because speed of processing is the key to this first-come-first-served funding for small businesses,” said Eddie Davis, Sr. VP Sales & Operations. “Now Heritage Bank is well prepared to service all of their small business customers by taking the strategic step of adopting our technology.”
Heritage Bank Partners with FINSYNC
"When the Covid-19 crisis hit, and the CARES Act passed, we knew we needed to get engaged and help our customers with the relief that’s available to them through SBA’s Payroll Protection Program (PPP),” said David Crow, Clayton County President, Heritage Bank. “We put people and processes in place and have been working around the clock to keep up with demand. Now that the SBA has, hopefully just temporarily, halted approving new loan applications, we are ramping up efforts internally to support this program more efficiently so when the SBA resumes funding, we’ll be ready to take care of our customers more quickly.” “We picked FINSYNC because it truly is ‘plug-and-play.’ We were up in minutes, and it’s the only solution we could find that helps with customer onboarding, loan processing, document management and loan forgiveness tracking,” added Crow. Lincoln Parks, Director of Innovation& Innovation Strategy for Heritage Bank noted, "Thankfully, digital transformation has been top of mind and was already underway for Heritage Bank. When the COVID-19 crisis hit, accepting PPP loan applications remotely became my number one priority.” “We found FINSYNC's electronic loan application and connected Lender's Portal to be the right solution at the right time to help our clients get the funding they need,” Parks continued. “It also represents an opportunity to stay connected with our customers online, and be there for them for future financing needs."PPP Application Program Details

FINSYNC’s plug-and-play PPP loan application and lender’s portal helps community banks meet their client’s lending needs now, and in the future.
By FINSYNC
It only took two weeks for the $349 billion in funding for the SBA’s Paycheck Protection Program to run dry. Launched on April 3, the SBA reportedly approved approximately 1.6 million loans by the time the program ran out of money on April 16.
Many small businesses were left in the lurch and are unhappy with their financial institutions, which didn’t do enough to help them access the funding they so desperately needed.
Fortunately, help appears to be on the horizon in the form of an additional $250 to $500 billion in funding that’s currently being negotiated in Congress. And this time around, community banks and credit unions need to be better prepared.
How? By having a secure online PPP application ready to offer small business clients the second additional funds are made available.
Banks and credit unions that partner with FINSYNC will not only get access to a streamlined platform to accept, process, underwrite, fund and service PPP loans, but will also be able to track forgiveness and support their clients’ future financing needs with an electronic loan application that provides easy processing and quick decisions.
FINSYNC’s Plug-and-Play PPP Solution
No IT investment nor integration is required when you adopt FINSYNC’s all-encompassing solution, which takes a mere 20 minutes to set up.

Tools like payroll cost calculators help confirm eligibility, and applicants also have access to trained advisors should they need additional help. In addition, small business applicants get free access to FINSYNC’s cash flow analytics, and can track their loan forgiveness eligibility online.

Meeting Growing Demand
As of April 14, the SBA has approved 1.1 million PPP loan applications worth $263 billion in credit extended through nearly 4,700 lending organizations. Congress is currently negotiating an additional $250 billion in relief to meet demand. The average loan amount to-date has been approximately $240,000, which covers a typical small business with payroll costs of nearly $100,000 per month for around 15 employees. The average loan amount will likely trend downwards as funding continues and younger, smaller companies who are developing a new relationship with their bank or credit union apply for relief. Lenders looking to grow have a unique opportunity to leverage FINSYNC’s PPP solution to meet their clients’ pressing needs and help small businesses with timely access to capital. In addition, lenders can connect with these clients through the Lender’s Portal when they need additional capital as the economy begins to recover.

With a huge percentage of the 30,000,000 US-based small businesses expected to apply for the PPP, execution is critical. It happened. A new, particularly strong virus quickly bloomed into a global pandemic. While the Federal Government's response was timely and well-funded, a lot of loose ends were left with regards to execution, specifically regarding the technology needed to execute. Businesses were encouraged to apply for the SBA Payroll Protection Program (PPP) starting last week. More importantly, they were encouraged to apply for the loan through their existing banking relationship.
Unprecedented Demand
A loan that becomes a grant and allows a business to cover payroll while shut down? Who wouldn't apply? The SBA estimates there are roughly 30,000,000 small businesses in the United States. According to the Independent Community Bankers of America's President & CEO, Rebecca Romero Rainey, "Community banks make 60 percent of small business loans." While estimates of the SBA's total loan volume processed annually prior to the crisis rest around $20 billion annually, the PPP program authorizes $349 billion, and that money is to be deployed immediately.Inadequate Tools
While no one doubts the program is well-intended, community bankers are in an awkward position. They have been positioned by government and the press as the saviors of small business (through their access to these funds). However, their ability to help is severely hampered using their current tools. Romero continues: "Community bankers have always been there to meet their customers' needs, and to be faced with a situation like they experienced today--in which they were unable to access the SBA programs promised to America's small businesses due to failed technology links and portals--has been beyond stressful and disappointing." While a new portal has been promised, it has not been delivered. Banks with access to E-Tran have reported "significant challenges with user access and latency in application processing."A Looming Threat
While community bankers continue to pressure their contacts at the SBA and Department of Treasury for solutions, rumors are swirling that two of the stronger Fintechs, PayPal and Square, may be granted special privileges to provide electronic loan applications for the PPP. With significant user bases on both the consumer and business sides of the market, Square and PayPal both stand to become even more disruptive to community banks.A Generational Opportunity
While there are certainly problems to solve, there is also an enormous opportunity to provide assistance to small businesses in their darkest hour. Not only will community banks that successfully deliver PPP funds to their clients attain hero-status indefinitely, they also stand to make significant gains for their shareholders as $349 billion in loans are rapidly deployed to the market. Banks that want to address this crisis head-on should look to Fintech as well, but choose a partner that works collaboratively with financial institutions, always looking to provide additional capabilities while keeping the bank at the center of the business client relationship. FINSYNC is that partner. FINSYNC's electronic loan application is plug and play. Additionally, the application feeds into the bank's connected Lender's Portal, a cloud tool for processing and underwriting loan applications. The best part...a bank can deploy FINSYNC's solution in 24 hours, with no IT integration required. Is your bank ready to start helping businesses in need? Join the FINSYNC Network today.
The Covid-19 crisis has created unprecedented opportunity to launch a virtual accounting practice. With the pandemic of Covid-19 and the Federal Government's response to an economic downturn expected to dwarf the sub-prime crisis of 2008, there has never been a better time for accounting professionals with the right skills to help get the nation back on its feet.
Tidal Wave of Applications for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) Expected
Ask any small business owner what's on their mind in the midst of shelter-at-home, and their responses will be similar. The health of their family followed very closely by the health of their business. With shelter-at-home keeping consumers from purchasing goods and services across so many industries, unemployment rates have already skyrocketed. The CARES Act, and specifically the PPP, could not come sooner. However, not unlike the HealthCare.gov fiasco, there is already confusion about how to apply to secure the financing. With PPP, a business can secure financing that becomes a grant. As long as the business continues to pay employees in accordance with the program's requirements, the government will forgive the loan. Free money. What business owner wouldn't apply? The opportunity is fantastic, but the application process leaves a lot to be desired. The forms and documentation are so complex that a small business owner without a strong financial education has little chance of completing them correctly without assistance. An incorrect application could lead to delays in receiving the loan deposit of several weeks. Businesses who complete the form correctly the first time can have funding in as few as 2 days. A very high percentage of 30,000,000 small businesses will apply for this program in the coming weeks. That's where you come in.The Crisis is Unprecedented, the Method of Work is Not
How do you serve small businesses in this time of need? Virtually. The market for professional services has been trending towards virtual services for some time. Business owners have used virtual services in marketing technology through publicly traded companies such as Upwork and Fiverr for quite a while. Businesses use Uber to navigate business trips. FINSYNC has developed its Services Network specifically to solve the need for professional, vetted financial assistance for US-based companies. Businesses simply request services through the app, and, based on their needs, get matched to the professional best suited to their requirements.

FINSYNC service providers have access to its business software that includes Payments, Accounting, Payroll, Projects, and, most importantly in the current economic climate, Cash Flow Management.
