WHY USE SOCIAL MEDIA?
 To Build Relationships!
  We are in the business of engaging in relationships, gathering information,
  providing value in the relationship and get feedback from our clients and
  prospects.

  Gathers info: Facebook can help you to get to know your customers and
  prospects and build deeper RELATIONSHIPS; their likes, dislikes,
  hobbies, vacations, family.

  Provide Value: LinkedIn helps in connecting people and this can lead to
  referrals and recruiting.

  Be engaged with clients/prospects: Twitter provides the venue for
  immediate, efficient (140 characters only) and quick feedback.

  The ultimate goal of social media is to build relationships not PITCH
  yourself or product.
  5
WHY USE SOCIAL MEDIA


Recruiting

• Social media can also be a great way to find out additional
  information about candidates as well as weed out those that that are
  unsuitable for the position.
  •       For Example: Alex could log into Facebook and check out possible candidates to get a
          better understanding of who they are and if they are appropriate for consideration.

• Have you Googled yourself? I am sure you would be surprised to
  find out what information is out there about you.
  •       The same could be said about people we are asking to come on board.




      6
WHO IS USING SOCIAL MEDIA?

      •   It’s not just for the younger generation!

      •   Baby boomers have always been good communicators, so it was inevitable that boomers
          would check out social media sites.

      •   Boomers expect that technology will help them live longer and better lives and keep them
          connected to family, friends, co-workers and, eventually, healthcare providers




  7
SOCIAL MEDIA AND CONNECTIONS


 •   43% buy financial services based on recommendations from social
     networking friends

 •   The research also found that compared with a range of other products
     that are recommended by social networking friends, financial services
     is the most trusted referral, leading to the most frequent purchases.

 •   In addition, 21% pass on information and advice about financial
     services they receive via social networks, overlooking Financial
     Advisers and Bank Staff in favor of reaching out to friends as the
     experts

 •   Social networks help people to share honest feedback and information
     that, in the current environment, consumers feel is lacking

MORE EVIDENCE ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA

Social Media Sharply Influences Investment Decisions
 According to New Study from Cogent Research
•   Social media plays a rapidly growing and influential role in
    individual investors’ financial decision-making.

•   The impact of social media on investment-related decisions, reveals
    trends:

     o   Investors are highly engaged in social media;
     o   Peer opinion influences a majority of investment decisions; and

     Financial services firms that fail to keep up with, and
       engage in, this emerging media are basically putting
       the fate of their brand into the hands of consumers.

     9
MORE EVIDENCE ABOUT SOCIAL MEDIA
While it’s no secret that nearly 80 percent of
U.S. adults are online, the Cogent Research
study reveals that:
•One out of every four U.S. online adults is engaged in
social media that deals specifically with personal finance
and investing.

•High net-worth online adults’ usage of social media for
investing outpaces that of the general population.

•More than half of high net-worth investors have
questioned the accuracy of information received from
“official” sources due to social media, including more than
a third of investors who question information from their
advisors due to social media



   10
THE RESULT?




       The question firms should be
       asking is not “if,” but “how
       quickly” they can engage in
              social media.”

REGULATIONS


  • FINRA Rule 10-06
       •   In September 2009, FINRA organized a Social Networking Task Force
           composed of FINRA staff and industry representatives to discuss how firms
           and their registered representatives could use social media sites for legitimate
           business purposes in a manner that ensures investor protection.


       •   The goal oft his Notice is to ensure that—as the use of social media sites
           increases overtime — Investors are protected from false or misleading claims
           and representations, and firms are able to effectively and appropriately
           supervise their associated persons’ participation in these sites




  13
REGULATIONS

 • Penn Mutual
   •   Patty Flack: ―Linked in is something that IS allowed.. because Linked in runs
       through your email address ( so agents need to use their business email
       address for it). And therefore we have a way to capture that.
   •   We have looked at some programs that have some potential to capture the
       other sites But these programs are very expensive. To obtain the programs
       you would need a certain number of producers to sign up before you would
       reach the breakeven point..
   •   When you hear other Broker Dealer’s talk about allow these things.. they don’t
       tend to tell you how much they are charging their producers
   •   All of this is being looked at.. but again.. it’s fairly new, not always reliable and
       very expensive.

             meetup.com and attend an event on Tuesday and then on Thursday
             he can spend an hour connecting to people on LinkedIn.com and
             updating his status
