Todays technology-centric business environment requires financial planners to retool their internet and social media strategies by focusing on credibility, relationships, and opportunities, according to Sheri Fitts, ShoeFitts Marketing president and celebrated global speaker.

Nearly every person, business, and product or service is now Googled and researched online before people make buying decisions, says Fitts. We search the web for consumer-to-business purposes, and increasingly, for business-to-business decisions.

Face-to-face relationship-building remains critically important for many professionals, such as financial planners, however personal contact must now be augmented with enhanced online tools and specific business development plans that recognize this form of marketing.

Fitts will explain the necessity for this strategy and implementation ideas at her upcoming presentation, Networking 2.0: Build Credibility, Develop Relationships and Create Opportunities. She is speaking on the second day of the 2014 Financial Planning Association (FPA) NorCal Conference on May 27th and 28th in San Francisco.

The session illustrates the impact the web is having on financial planners, why it matters, and how to build a strong digital footprint, says Fitts. Her presentation will also cover the key opportunities with LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook, while also explaining the best ways to create and curate content.

Financial planners need practical ways to use internet and social media tools that complement their current networking, sales, and marketing efforts, adds Fitts. This presentation provides clear instructions, action items, and resources to launch an effective networking 2.0 strategy.
