Do you think Banks will adopt blockchain technology?

Had the same question. Don't know why so many downvotes on this post. Maybe cuz its off-topic? In that case @PipeSmokingBanker, you might want to add off-topic tag to this thread.

Yeah this shouldn't be downvoted. Off topic could help along with the finance tag. I still upvoted ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ

I'm not in favor of self-promotion but if people don't think banking and finance are on-topic with sales they aren't paying attention to sales, right?

Interesting. ย What do you disagree with?

Actually, there's nothing particularly major I disagree with. It's just that a lot of people won't connect banking directly to sales. I don't disagree per se, just trying to put myself in the shoes of the masses

Iโ€™m not a smart person but I donโ€™t equate sales with selling as much as I think buyers make investments to get the highest return on their money. ย Like bankers, salespeople help them make those decisions. ย

Agreed 100%. A really good salesperson will focus on value the mostย

Well and thatโ€™s what I think too. ย And I know from my experience, there are sales people that donโ€™t understand Banking and then we laugh at them when they leave. ย Focus on the value...but speak the same โ€œlanguageโ€ย

Many of the bigger ones already have. ย JPM Chase uses its for their large international โ€œwiresโ€. ย (Theyโ€™re not really wires if theyโ€™re blockchain, but I think you know what I mean.). And the Fed I know is looking into updating their wire service with blockchain. ย Iโ€™ll bet you see it become more common soon.
that said, what does give me concern is crypto re: banks. ย Like cannabis, banks are going to HAVE to get some guidance from regulators about it. ย How can banks allocate capital against such a volatile asset? ย At some point, itโ€™ll get worked out but until then..๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™‚๏ธ

How to banks approach API procurement? Do they hire consultants to help them with that or?ย

Mostly consultants. ย But, again, those consultants have to be careful. ย The fintech world for community banks (4000+ nationwide so not a small market) is moving towards collaboration with banks. ย Banks have seen through the BS of โ€œwe wonโ€™t steal your customer dataโ€ *wink wink*. ย The value-add there is collaborating to improve their communityย

Depending on the area of banking, LinkedIn has a pretty vibrant community. ย Engaging w people there is a good place to start. ย Also, take a look at some of the state banking associations. ย Theyโ€™re all the time needing speakers and content.

If youโ€™ve been working in a sales role for a small saas company and are interested in working some kind of sales position at a large bank, what roles would you look for and what advice would you give?

So, getting into the banking side? ย Depends on the area and the bank. ย If itโ€™s just basic banking, youโ€™d be looking for something like Customer Service Rep...but make sure itโ€™s in person. ย If you can sell by relationship selling, youโ€™ll move up quickly...but pick up some credit analysis when you get there.
