Digital Institute Embraces the Social Media Sphere

New ShoeFitts Marketing monthly broadcasts show financial advisors how to utilize key digital concepts and ideas in their daily practice.

Portland, OR, January 14, 2016: Financial services industry professionals can now take full advantage of digital marketing to elevate their brand, find and develop leads, and increase sales by attending the new monthly ShoeFitts Digital Institute live broadcasts. Featuring host Sheri Fitts, CEO of ShoeFitts Marketing, the series breaks down social media know-how into manageable and executable steps.

“Nearly every day, one industry group or another reports that financial services individuals who are embracing the digital sphere are exceeding and outselling their peers,” explains Fitts. “The ShoeFitts Digital Institute specifically helps professionals in the financial services industry understand how to bring the most important social selling ideas and concepts into their practice.”

For instance the January 21 broadcast, The State of Social in 2016, explains the top social selling hacks. “In this show, I share the latest trends and tips, plus showcase the sales and business growth opportunities,” Fitts says.

The February 18 broadcast, How to Make Digital Marketing Work for You, walks attendees through the steps necessary for determining and executing a well-conceived and holistic approach. “Not sure how to get started? No problem,” Fitts explains. “I outline the key digital marketing plan considerations, including how to leverage digital channels, and how to measure and evaluate your return on investment.”

Fitts, with some 25 years of marketing experience in financial services, understands the tremendous selling power of today’s digital marketplace since there are now some 1.5 billion global social media users spanning all generations and demographics. She recently launched a comprehensive self-paced eCourse, Social Selling for Financial Advisors, to address social selling in today’s competitive marketplace.

“Financial services professionals must embrace the digital sphere and understand how to effectively utilize social selling to make connections and elevate their sales,” Fitts says, adding: “The digital space is playing an ever-increasing role in the business-to-business environment, particularly in the people-facing financial services industry.”
