Business Development
Grew a branch from $104MM on deposits to a $139MM deposit portfolio in 2024. The majority of this success came from referrals from title companies, law firms, realtors and personal referrals.
Every customer who visited me was either new to the area or shopping for a new bank. 100% of the time, they came back and chose me as their trusted banker. The second part of this success is being involved in the community, supporting non-profit events. Following up on leads and following through on any inquiries.
