"It has become increasingly difficult for financial institutions to set themselves apart from the pack. Many of the products and services banks offer have become commoditized. It's clear that the way for banks to retain and deepen established customer relationships is to provide better service. It really is as simple as that.

Flexible Financial Marketing, Inc. (FFMI) made a commitment to service in 1984 and has lived by it ever since. We are a five-star provider. We include in our fee-income model a comprehensive template covering customer satisfaction measurement, employee incentives and accountability, and monitoring systems with managerial support.

FFMI started representing PFL Aegon as a Regional Director in 1986. Expanding into full-service brokerage in the late 1980’s with Aegon Securities, who became the top bank distributor for over a decade in the 1990s. With twenty + years of banking financial services experience, we have started over 100 bank Investment Centers from scratch.

Today, community banks are looking for expanded opportunities to develop new fee-income. FFMI is searching for new banks to partner with in broadening their financial services menu. The largest amount of money ever to change hands will come due over the next ten years. Financial Institutions need to be ready to offer attractive alternatives through professional representatives.

At FFMI, we believe there is no short-cut to success and that a commitment to help start a successful new Investment Center for a bank is a commitment that must be fulfilled."
