From Cold Calls to 2X Trust-Built Sales: Reinventing Banking & Insurance Selling

Strong brands. Vast networks. Yet growth was flat. For two of India’s leading financial institutions one in banking, the other in insurance, the challenge wasn’t opportunity; it was execution on the ground.

The Sales Head put it bluntly:

"Our teams are chasing numbers and pushing policies instead of genuinely solving client problems. Customers don’t trust easily, competition constantly undercuts our rates, and retention is slipping. We realized we needed a sales engine that builds trust, demonstrates value, and keeps customers for life."

That’s when Dishah Consultants stepped in with industry-specialized consultants, customized frameworks, and training designed for the unique realities of both banking and insurance. From lead conversion and cross-selling to client retention and policy renewals, every challenge was addressed with practical, results-driven solutions.

Banking & Insurance Sales Training – The Scale of Engagement

The clients represent India’s most established names in banking and insurance, with nationwide distribution, thousands of relationship managers and advisors, and diverse portfolios spanning retail banking, wealth management, life, health, and general insurance.

✅ 500+ advisors, RMs, and branch sales teams trained across multiple regions

✅ 20+ tailored sessions designed for front-line agents, telesales, corporate RMs, and wealth advisors

From the L & D Head perspective, here were the real banking and insurance sales challenges and how we solved them.

Banking sales challenges:
