About The James Paul Group

We provide solutions to the key challenges facing financial institutions today in attracting, engaging, acquiring, and keeping their customers.

At The James Paul Group, we understand that changing the way you interact and communicate with customers is a critical process. For these changes to be effective, they must be fully accepted and integrated into your organization. The process we use to accomplish this is what makes us unique. Our process, methodology, and approach is also why our services result in lasting change that will help you increase profitable sales and retain your best customers.

We have learned from years of providing consulting and training services to financial institutions that change is a process, not an event. The benefits of establishing a high performance program that includes training and skill development is often lost in only a few short weeks if they are not reinforced and integrated into the organization’s culture. For that reason, we develop a complete implementation and cultural adoption plan with our customers. Our plan is based on the unique needs of your organization.

Our Vision

To be a trusted resource for our clients, and recognized for our integrity, professionalism and commitment to excellence. To be a company that clients enjoy doing business with.

Our Mission

To deliver best in class Assessments, Advising, and Training solutions to improve the sales, management, and customer service effectiveness of our clients, allowing them to maximize and sustain performance, accelerate growth, and provide a memorable customer experience.

Your Results

Our approach to delivering training is skill based rather than theoretical, which makes it practical, and our tailored bank specific solutions make it "REAL WORLD”. Our customers describe our training as a “high-energy, results-oriented” program. So if you haven’t invested in your most valuable asset – your people – in quite some time, give us a call. You’ll be glad you did.

Our Services

DON’T RELY ON HOPE OR LUCK FOR GROWTH

High performing banks don’t rely on hope, luck, or a strong economy to reach their financial goals.  Instead, they embrace a culture that revolves totally around how they engage their customers.  They know that sustainable, consistent growth comes from having more customers, opening more accounts, and treating customers so exceptional that they continue to return.

Having been successful in developing and delivering income producing solutions since 2001, the James Paul Group can work with your bank to achieve the level of success you desire.
