hi! looking forward to meeting you!

Linkedin is a great idea but I don't know if I'd use it as a way to get emails out. Linkedin makes up about 80% of sales in the industry for ones converted from social media. What I'd do instead is I use a tool called dripify where you can upload your search from linkedin sales navigator and it'll allow you to send messages to people directly from linkedin (and if you still wanted to do the email technique, it can collect the email and send stuff out for you). It's more warm coming in as a linkedin message than it is from a cold email. That said, I've done it for a variety of groups: small business owners in my area, realtors, people from the WARN Act. The issue however is that not everyone is active on linkedin and it also depends on the niche you're trying to brand yourself around, some industries have lesser participation. You should check out the web series, identifying the invisible rich because it goes through a lot of great types of people you can reach out to that aren't usually talked about: https://dunham.com/FA/Blog/Posts/identifying-the-invisible-rich

Great idea! When I was an annuity wholesaler I would go into businesses that was closing their doors (look up the WARN Act) with the advisors I worked with and we'd do presentations about the foundations of social security. We went into the ford automotive plant in detroit that was closing down in 2022 and did that talk to 200 people, 80 of which met with the advisor, and he ended up doing like 8M in annuity premiums with me that year.

sorry we're missing you!
