"Of course, creating a sales and service culture doesn't happen overnight; and it can be a daunting task because there are so many moving parts that are interlinked. The CUNA Sales and Service Culture Institute provided an "A to Z" step-by-step framework that guides you through the transformation process to build a foundation for a strong sales and service culture and shows you how to lead the transformation effectively.
The sessions were informative and engaging, and I really enjoyed the interactive group sessions that afforded me the opportunity to learn from my peers. I walked away with so many ideas and concepts I could apply immediately. I would recommend the CUNA Sales and Service Culture Institute to anyone who is contemplating a sales and service culture as well as anyone who is already involved in the transformation process."

HR, Sales and Training, Georgias Own Credit Union
"I've been to several conferences over the years, and I must say this is among the best. The material was relevant and practical to sales and service. The speakers were outstanding -- not only were they knowledgeable, but they were inspiring. I came away with a lot of ideas on how to improve the sales and service culture. I also came away with a greater respect for the importance of employees and the need for time, money, and resources to be invested in employees. They are the key to being a world-class credit union. Thank you for a great conference."
"I learned how to motivate my staff and put sales into a different perspective that is exciting, motivating, and, most importantly, a big key to 100% member satisfaction."
"The instructors were very good. I also liked the interaction with the classmates. It was really good to hear you were not the only one having difficulty, and it made you feel good when you could help others."
