R. WILLIAM Wilsted, director
mJ of the Colorado Graduate
School of Banking at the University
of Colorado, Boulder, gave an outstanding presentation of his talk on
“ Pricing of Bank Services,” at the
Colorado Bankers Association Con­
vention held June 7-9 at the Broad­
moor in Colorado Springs. After
noting that “ pricing philosophy has
changed in light of regulations,” Dr.
Wilsted said “ the pricing of services
should be made on the value to
customers. Too often, in today’s
deregulated market, we haven’t
done this.”
He listed four factors to consider:
1. Product utility, which has four
aspects—form (savings and checking accounts, auto loans, home mort­
gages and other services); place
(location convenience); possession
(taking possession of something now
instead of later—e.g., an auto loan
that offers time payments to enjoy a
car now); time (saving customer
time, or realizing the time value of
his money).
2. Customer alternatives (competition). Bank needs to devise a
strategy that reduces customer
alternatives—by pricing, service,
type of product.
3. Customer perception in value of
the service provided. Enhancing the
“ what will it do for me” concept.
4. Customer capacity, which re­

quires three essential ingredients,
none of which can be missing— de­
mand, sufficient number of prospec­
tive customers, sufficient number of
customers willing be pay.
“ In summary,” Dr. Wilsted said,
“ in the marketplace where the
customer has a choice, our strategy
is to recognize customer needs, pro­
vide the product to satisfy those
needs, and price the product to make
a profit.”

“ We didn’t have a year to train a
new ag loan man,” remarks Dave
Stephens, Executive Vice President
of Central Trust & Savings Bank,
Eldridge, Iowa.
“ We needed a man who could
climb in the saddle and ride!”
With his own ag loan workload ex­
tremely heavy, Stephens turned to
AGRIcareers for help in locating an
experienced man. Chris Cunningham, 26, was recommended by the
personnel firm and was employed.
“ We offered Chris the job and he
was here in two weeks,” explains
Stephens. “ Very soon, he was visiting customers.
“ Chris works well with farmers
and with fellow employees here at
the bank. And he can size up a loan
profile and an individual quickly and
accurately.
Continues Stephens, “ Chris has
the ability to say no when it’s appro­
priate, yet keep the customer.”
The eastern Iowa bank is in Scott
County, where farm crop failures are
extremely rare. Corn yields com­
monly run 150 bu./acre, and corn
and soybean yield contests often are
won by farmers in the bank’s trade
area. Cash rent for cropland some­
times reaches $200/acre. Livestock
enterprises involve hog production,
cattle finishing, and occasionally
dairying.
“ We back agriculture!” points
out Stephens, who is in charge of the
bank’s lending to farmers. “ Right
now, it’s tough times for farm­
ers—low farm commodity prices, the
reduction in land values, high in­
terest rates, and sometimes over­
investment.
“ Ag banking today requires high­
ly capable loan officers, perhaps
more than ever.”
In Cunningham, AGRIcareers
was able to meet Stephens’ “ specifi-

Central Trust & Savings Bank’s
footings total $58 million, and loans
direct to farmers are about $13 mil­

at the full-service bank.
Sums up Stephens, “ AGRIca­

personnel professionals.
“ I didn’t have time to do the per­
sonnel search and sort myself,” he
adds. “ An ad in the paper can bring
100 resumes to study! AGRIcareers
sent us only people who could meet

“ We interviewed four and hired
