QUOTES:

“Make people aware of your solutions to their general needs because in the credit union space, you don’t sell or push products, you meet members’ needs and expectations.”

Mike Dinneen

“We have something on the wall that says ‘educate first, sell second’. I never want our credit union or really any credit union for that matter, to be pushing product first.”
