I did my first bank shop today and loved it! The personal banker was on her game and I learned so much from a thirty minute interaction. I really want to open an account at this branch so she can get credit and to be able to ask for future advice, but there are other branches more convenient to my home and job.
Can I go back to this location to open an account without jeopardizing the shop? Should I wait and do a few more so I have a basis for comparison? I don't know if I'm patient enough for that. Also, they have a great $150 new account bonus running through 4/15 which is tempting me even more.
I can see where this type of shop might become a problem for me. I'm not so good at "playing the part" yet and use too many personal experiences and details. I need to learn to de-personalize my shops and think in more business-like terms.
