Vertical IQ provides me a leading edge to be able to build trust with the client, to be able to gain knowledge with the client that they didn’t really know that I had going into it. And it helps create a client from day one that can last throughout my career.Walt Parker, Business Development Officer

I was calling on a well-known restaurant and hotel investor in California. I knew that he was working with a major hotel chain, so I began sending him Vertical IQ’s Quarterly Emails. Since he already had a lot of experience in the hotel industry, he didn’t immediately see the value of these emails. However, as I persisted, the investor’s target market started to expand, and he began to see the value. He was able to use the “Financial Benchmarks” knowledge in negotiations and saw great success. The investor promised that because of my help, any new hotel purchase would be financed through me.Susan Mackey, Vice President Relationship Manager, Banner Bank
Industry Intelligence plays a big part in training our branch managers and helping them prepare for business appointments. We saw value immediately when an associate on-boarded a valuable new relationship to the bank using Vertical IQ just weeks after training.Michael Torrielli
