  20. Hutchinson Credit Union $170M - Kansas • “Sales conversations” -- Across the desk or on the phone; avoids direct mail • Detailed product sheets with FAQs for each employee (cross selling factors, relationship suggestions, what to listen for, etc.) • Cash incentives for mortgages, “stealing” loans, fourth-product sale, GAP, etc. • “No-no’s” policy • Superior rates for Tier 2 borrowers • Emphasis on mortgage • <10% indirect 20

  22. Baton Rouge Telco Credit Union $194M - Louisiana • New loan manager in 2008 with Wells Fargo sales experience. • Indirect through a local six-credit union CUSO; Baton Rouge Telco buys deeper than others. • Anything indirect loan less than 650 FICO is an exception; past auto loan key driver of exceptions • A-paper indirect borrowers get pre-approved credit card offer with welcome letter: 6.9% with no balance transfer fee. • Active data mining on outgoing payments. 22

  23. Baton Rouge Telco Credit Union $194M - Louisiana • Employees pull soft credit report with new checking “Needs-based” selling • “Pinching the tail” contests offer employees social rather than monetary rewards. • Cash rewards for GAP and credit life/disability (“only” $20 to fend off hard sells to members) 23

  25. Acadia Federal Credit Union $95M - Maine • Small town means loan officers know lenders and vice versa. • Teaching loan officers how to ask, then asking why they didn’t ask. • Only 10% of auto loans are indirect. • Cross selling earns tokens redeemable for corporate wear. • GAP and warranty sales earn cash. • Occasional targeted promotions. • Interest rebates to drive loyalty. Word of mouth is more effective than traditional advertising. 25
