Should Financial Professionals Use Google+?

Out of the 4 largest social media outlets (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google+), Google+ seems to be the most underused and misunderstood for financial professionals. I continue to see financial professionals all over LinkedIn, Facebook, and Twitter, but there seem to be just a small group of “digital advisors” on Google+. Ironically, Google+ is now much larger in terms of registered users than even most financial advisor’s favorite go-to social media platform, LinkedIn.

So why should Financial Professionals use Google+?

Facebook Marketing for Financial Advisors

In this exciting live Google Hangout interview, we cover all of the basics of Facebook marketing for financial advisors with special guest Nathan Lee. Normally, everything we teach financial advisors revolves around organic search and organic marketing. Meaning, we teach you how to be found online for free, without having to pay for advertising, banner ads, pay-per-click, etc. However, it is too tough to ignore the power of Facebook marketing for financial advisors as Facebook has so much information on everyone, and they have made it incredibly easy and cheap to advertise (for as little as $25).

Are You A “Purple Cow” Financial Professional?

Are you a Purple Cow Financial Professional? Do you even know what that means? Let me explain. Author Seth Godin wrote a book called “Purple Cow” where he describes the importance of standing out in whatever industry you are in, just like a purple cow would in a field of all normal looking, brown cows. For instance, imagine what you would do if you were driving along through the country and all of a sudden saw a purple cow sitting out in a field amongst all brown cows. You would most likely pull your car over, take pictures, share the picture with everyone you know, and continue to tell the story about the purple cow to anyone who would listen to you.

This same theory applies to businesses, brands, and even financial professionals.

And if you can become a Purple Cow Financial Professional, you will have a business and brand that your clients are talking about, sharing, and telling their friends about.

Are You Acting Like A “Used Annuity Salesman”?

Yesterday, I had the privilege of being part of a digital mastermind group where we discussed some really cool “out of the box” digital marketing and sales ideas in the financial services industry. The mastermind meeting was incredibly powerful and we all walked away smarter and full of new ideas to implement. One of the guys at the meeting named Stevie told a funny (but sad) story about what he sees going on in our industry, and he called it the “Used Annuity Salesman” disease. The long and short of it is, that a huge chunk of insurance agents today act just like used car salesman. They show up to work every single day having no business plan, having no idea who will walk up on the car lot that day, have to use misleading sales practices to close deals, live month to month, never get referrals, and bounce around from car lot to car lot in search of the next great silver bullet.

So how can you avoid ever being stuck in the Used Annuity Salesman rut?
