Because PrecisionLender drives profitable revenue, implementation is straightforward, the user interface remains consistent regardless of
how it’s accessed, and makes other “brain” systems better, banks have found the most value implementing PrecisionLender early in any 4
What does the Relationship Manager use?
• We constantly and immediately give RMs
options on how they can improve a deal.
• PrecisionLender is a sales tool…it’s a
negotiation tool.
• It allows the RM to easily focus on what
is most important to the borrower.
• It is like having a senior RM or pricing
analyst helping you structure the deal in
real time.
• This helps lenders win better deals, build
stronger relationships and build a better
brand for the commercial bank.
What does the Relationship Manager use?
• Easily understand overall Relationship
Profitability.
• Understand the impact on the
relationship and the portfolio both if we
win and if we lose this next opportunity.
• Understand the impact on Net Funding
and Net Commitment as a result of
winning a losing.
• Answer the basic and important
question: if we win what is in our
pipeline, how much will we grow the
bank?
• Better manage liquidity needs and
improve investment portfolio returns
Meet Andi
• Andi® is PrecisionLender’s virtual pricing analyst,
powered by AI and machine learning.
• Andi sees every deal priced by PrecisionLender
clients. She learns what’s working and what’s not, as
well as the pricing tactics of the best RMs.
• She works with RMs as they price each opportunity,
showing them how to make deals work,
recommending structures, and even highlighting
opportunities to expand a relationship.
• Andi’s learning how to monitor RM portfolios to find
new opportunities and detect anomalies. She’s even
learning how to track the competition’s offers and
ways they’ve been beaten in the past.
How is this valuable to banks?
How is this valuable to banks?
• To the prospective client, the Relationship Manager (and the bank) feel smarter, more
flexible, more capable and responsive
• Every RM hates to be the used car salesman and say “let me go ask my manager.” It damages their ability to win that
deal and it damages their ability to build a lasting relationship.
• If there is a deal that will work for this client at this bank, the RM has complete
confidence that this system (PrecisionLender) will help them to find it…and do so in a
constructive and value-added way.
• If a mutually acceptable deal is not possible, the RM (and the bank) can say NO with confidence earlier in the pipeline
before expending substantial resources and putting the bank’s brand at risk.
• At many banks, up to 50% of the deals that go into origination never make it onto the books because they were either
unacceptable to the borrower or to the bank at the outset. Better qualification drives Improved efficiency and
minimizes the damage to the brand from a failed or a “re-traded late” deal.
• Understand where your competition is pricing along with where you are winning and
where you are losing...and why. Have confidence in your pricing targets and grow
where the best returns are available.
