The Challenge

For River Valley Community Bank (RVCB), building strong relationships with customers has always been the priority. As they continued to grow, the bank recognized the need for more efficient ways to capture leads online and nurture them into meaningful conversations. Manual processes for follow-up worked, but they required significant staff time and limited scalability. With guidance from Geear and the powerful tools in HubSpot, RVCB was able to enhance their website experience, introduce automation, and create a smoother path for prospects to connect with the bank.

Limited Lead Capture

Previous website lacked strong opportunities for prospects to initiate contact.

Manual Processes

Follow-up relied heavily on staff without automation support.

The Outcomes

Within just a few months, RVCB launched new lead capture forms, automated follow-up workflows, and personalized outreach through HubSpot. The results were immediate: prospects began engaging directly online, staff saved time with automation, and the bank gained visibility into form submissions and engagement through custom dashboards. In August alone, the ‘Talk to an Expert’ form generated 36 qualified inquiries — a measurable step forward in digital lead generation.

 

Solutions Implemented
  • Form Set Up

    RVCB’s “Talk to an Expert” form, prominently displayed on their website, invites prospects to submit a short inquiry, immediately notifying branch representatives.

  • Follow Up Email Workflows

    Submissions trigger automated email workflows that provide helpful resources and continue the nurturing process.

  • Personalized Human Support

    An RVCB staff member then follows up directly to answer questions, address concerns, and assist with timely account openings.
