cbsi Talking Business: Coronavirus Response Edition 2
Dear cbsi friends:
As we work from home this month we stand in awe of the life saving work being done by doctors, nurses, hospital staff, police, fire, sanitation, public officials, National Guard soldiers, Army and Navy medical staff through out the country.
We have enjoyed accelerating our series of talks with amazing marketing, public relations, contact centers, educators, bankers, contact centers, experiencing their thoughts on messaging strategy, utilizing new technology and helping small business survive the Covid19 challenges.
Believe you will enjoy hearing Long Island banker Kevin O'Conner of BNB Bank describe setting up a 150 person team to help process 2,000 CARES Act loans in a matter of days while buying every available laptop to help his staff work from home.
As always we are proud of our cbsi client service team which helped our 1,200 bank clients and their customers through a tough travel shutdown month in March.
If you have a story for us just please let us know, and stay well,
Ken
