In the banking industry, the drive for uniformity in customer service processes across various channels is paramount. Recently, we developed a successful low-code application for call center consultants at one of Poland’s largest banks. This application streamlines the sales process of cash loans with insurance, enhancing efficiency and ensuring regulatory compliance.
Recognizing its effectiveness, the bank is now preparing to extend this tool to its branches, exemplifying a strategic replication of proven solutions across different channels. By leveraging the flexibility of low-code technology and adopting a unified solution, the bank ensures that all customer-facing processes maintain the same high level of efficiency, accuracy, and regulatory compliance, regardless of the channel.
The initial development focused on addressing the complexities faced by call center consultants, including the creation of a comprehensive call script embedded in the application. Before implementing the sales script prompter in the process, consultants navigated through various tools and systems, often resulting in prolonged call times and increased potential for errors.

The application developed on the Eximee Low-Code Platform consolidated everything the consultants needed into a single, user-friendly tool. Here’s a brief recap of the solution’s impact:
Centralization – all data, guidelines, and a sales script in one place
Efficiency – reduced call times
Documents management -automated dispatch of required documents to a client
Error reduction – smaller risk of mistakes
Compliance – the process leads a consultant step by step and ensures that all regulatory requirements are met
Onboarding – more effective induction of new employees into customer service
Given the success of a sales script prompter in the call center, the bank is now replicating this solution in its branch network. However, this isn’t a straightforward replication but a thoughtful adaptation that respects the unique dynamics of branch operations.
The transition to branches involves adjusting the solution to fit the in-person customer interactions typical in a branch setting. While the core functionalities remain the same, certain adaptations are necessary.
Low-code developers responsible for creating solutions for branches can independently modify the application while maintaining the essence of the original solution. This flexibility allows them to make quick adjustments specific to brick-and-mortar operational needs without waiting for central updates.
The sales script will be slightly modified to suit face-to-face interactions. For example, the process for branches will incorporate steps such as ID card verification.
Regardless of the sales channel, customers must receive all relevant documents and reliable information about the scope and terms of insurance. The sales script embedded in the process ensures that consultants adhere to this requirement as they are led “by the hand" all the way.
Eximee low-code platform enables mutual exchange of tested solutions between IT teams responsible for respective channels or lines of business. In this case, the call center team developed an application with a sales script prompter that enhanced sales of a loan with insurance, so the team that develops solutions for branches can now adopt it by adding specific steps such as ID card verification. It means teams can innovate independently while contributing to the overall improvement of the bank’s customer service processes.
Implementing this solution in branches extends the advantages witnessed in the call center:
Customers will receive the same level of information and service quality whether they visit a branch or contact call center.
By reducing the number of tools and systems advisors must navigate, the solution will facilitate smoother and quicker customer service and increase the sales of a cash loan bundled with insurance in branches.
With the Eximee platform, reusing or cloning and adjusting applications for use in different channels is super fast and cost-effective. There’s no need to develop separate solutions from scratch for each channel.
Extending the call center’s low-code application for selling loans with insurance to branches exemplifies the bank’s commitment to enhancing customer service through consistent, efficient, and compliant processes.
By leveraging successful elements such as a sales script prompter and adapting them to the branch environment, the bank ensures that every customer interaction, regardless of the channel, is handled with the same level of expertise and care.
A sales script prompter in banking is a tool designed to assist consultants in call centers and branches by providing a structured script to follow during customer interactions. This ensures consistency, accuracy, and regulatory compliance across all customer service processes.
The sales script prompter (originally created for the call center) is being extended to bank branches to maintain consistency in customer service across different channels. By adapting the tool in branches, the bank ensures that all customers receive the same level of service and information, regardless of the channel they use.
For branch use, the sales script prompter is customized to include steps specific to in-person interactions, such as ID verification. This adaptation allows the tool to suit the unique dynamics of branch operations while maintaining the core functionalities of the original solution.
The sales script prompter ensures regulatory compliance by guiding consultants through each step of the process, ensuring that all necessary documents are provided and that the customer receives accurate and comprehensive information about the product, such as loan terms and insurance coverage.
Using the sales script prompter across different banking channels ensures consistency in customer experience, streamlines operations, increases sales, and is cost-effective. By leveraging a low-code platform, the bank can quickly clone and adjust the application for different channels without the need for separate development.
