The Heartland Bank, Gahanna, OH, Selects CoreTrac to Manage Customer Relationships

Austin, Texas–May 22, 2003–CoreTrac, Inc., a provider of customer relationship management (CRM) for community financial institutions announced today that Heartland Bank, Gahanna, OH, has chosen CoreTrac’s ResourceOne to bolster the bank’s customer-centric CRM strategy. ResourceOne allows Heartland Bank employees to track leads and referrals, recommend products based on demographic criteria, set goals for employees and branches, and perform other CRM functions that Heartland Bank wanted in a solution. Scott McComb, who made the decision to purchase ResourceOne, runs operations for Heartland Bank.

“We looked at many CRM systems and found that most CRM systems do not focus on TBL (The Bottom Line). Coretrac emphasizes productivity, measurement, and goal attainment through sales, something all banks should be focused on. You can only cut costs and refine processes so long to save money. Eventually you need to work on the income side of the P&L,” McComb said.

In addition, the bank wanted to find a CRM solution their employees would use. “The best thing about the CoreTrac application is its ease of use. The strongest points of CoreTrac are goal and performance tracking, referral tracking for incentive compensation, the facilitation of leads through the institution, and the ability to have a single view of customer interactions.”
