For Credit Union Leaders
You're not-for-profit. You're not not-for-margin. Growing your revenue and optimizing margins means room for better products and member services, and an institution that can confidently serve members over the long term.
We help credit unions grow on purpose, with research instead of guesswork, so the profit you earn does exactly what it should: serve your members.
Sound Familiar?
If three or more of these hit home, you're exactly who we built this for.
Your board and your staff aren't rowing in the same direction.
Members leave quietly and you don't know why.
The last consultant's plan is sitting in a drawer.
You're spending on marketing. You can't see the ROI.
Big decisions get made on gut feel, because the data isn't clear.
The board wants growth, or wants the losses to stop. Now.
Managing marketing eats your week and feels chaotic.
Your systems don't talk to each other, so you don't have a clear picture of the customer journey from awareness to revenue.
New member applications are stalling out and we're not sure why.
We know we should be using AI to increase efficiency, but we're not sure how to navigate it safely in a compliant ecosystem.
Margins Fund the Mission
People helping people takes fuel. The rates you offer, the branches you keep open, the staff who know members by name. Margin pays for all of it.
A credit union that optimizes its margins isn't drifting from the mission. It's protecting it, building the financial strength to serve members through the next rate cycle, the next competitor, the next decade.
That's how we approach growth: profit in service of members. We find where money leaks out (churn, unadopted products, marketing that doesn't provide ROI) and turn those leaks into strength you can pass back to the membership.
How We Help
The same research-to-revenue model that rebuilds brands and grows revenue across industries, applied to your credit union.
Member surveys, interviews, and your own systems' data, pulled together into one clear picture of why members stay, why they leave, and what they'd adopt next.
Research does what opinions can't: it ends the debate. We turn findings into a growth plan with clear priorities and a measurement plan that the board and staff align on because it's built on member truth.
Fractional Growth leadership keeps the plan out of the drawer, making sure that the plan is executed successfully and the investment pays for itself and more over the long term.
Proof, Not Promises
Our founder, Michelle Seay Baker, APR, helped a credit union rebrand using research to uncover member insights and bring the board and staff into alignment around a powerful new brand identity and slogan that shaped the organization's culture.
She recently conducted a full growth audit, developed a strategic plan using member research, and oversaw the execution of marketing campaigns using a data-driven approach that increased ad campaign click-through rates by 24%.
Her research discipline was sharpened at USAA, one of the most data-driven financial institutions in the country, and now pairs with a hybrid-human AI approach that delivers enriched behavioral insights in days instead of months.
