Exclusive results-focused marketing program is now available to America's top retirement advisors.
Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) April 01, 2013
Today’s retirement advisor specializing in annuities, life insurance, and other retirement income vehicles are quite familiar with the role FMO’s and IMO’s play in the distribution of these products. Unfortunately, over the last few years these FMO’s have slowly forgotten what the “M” in FMO stands for "Marketing". They have instead become fixated on pushing products instead of helping their loyal advisors market and brand themselves, which has caused many retirement advisors to lose faith in their FMO.
With the latest release of this “Six-figure Marketing Plan”, Retirement Income Network and Annuity Think Tank are putting “Marketing” back into the retirement advisor’s business. The April 1st launch will reveal a highly exclusive digital and direct marketing platform targeted at the top 500 retirement advisors in the country. Unlike most other marketing offers, this one will come with a money back guarantee based on results.
Anyone interested in more information about this exclusive program should register toRetirementIncomeNetwork.com.
About Retirement Income Network
Retirement Income Network - also known as RIN - is an exclusive, membership only, digital marketing organizationthat caters solely to retirement advisors. We have coined the term “Six-Figure Marketing Plan with a Money Back Guarantee” to accurately describe the marketing platforms that we arm each of our exclusive members with. It is a membership based on a solemn commitment from both RIN and the retirement advisor, and being a part of this elite “Network” is bigger than just growing your practice. It is about changing the rules to how the marketing game is played. It is about breaking out of the marketing box that most financial professionals have put themselves in. As we quickly turn you into a “Celebrity” among your peers, clients, and prospects, it is no wonder why this incredibly fast growing network is revolutionizing the way retirement advisors do business.

Annuity123 was picked as one of the top 25 most Influential websites in the annuity and insurance industry. Annuity123’s first ever baby boomer matching service combined with its online advisor community put it at the top amongst the thousands of website vying for the top 25.

over the recent years, the internet has become an increasingly important tool to many Americans. Many of us actually rely on it for many of our daily needs such as communicating with friends/family, shopping for nationwide discounts on needed items, and in researching topics of interest.
Given this increased reliance, it is no surprise that the business community must embrace the power of the internet to be able to reach out to the increasingly expanding online community. Many websites have been created for the benefit of financial professionals. A recent survey was recently released by Annuity Think Tank which highlights the top 25 most influential and important websites for the financial professional community. In this survey titled Top 25 Online Resources for Financial Professionals, Annuity123 was given accolades for being the first baby boomer and retirement income specialist matching service. Although a relatively new website, it has proven to be successful in helping financial professionals reach out to consumers in the ever-growing online community who are seeking guidance in their retirement planning.

Top 25 Online Resources for Financial Professionals


Early adopters of digital marketing and technology in the financial services industry compiled a "Top 25" list of online resources available to financial professionals. The Annuity Think Tank, with the help of their readers and viewers, published this "Top 25" list to provide a reference guide of online content to financial professionals.

Over the last 15 years the internet has become an indispensable tool in the daily lives of Americans. Two of the most important aspects being the ability to facilitate communication and acting as a repository of knowledge. With that in mind, the Annuity Think Tank set out to compile a list (with the help of their subscribers) of the Top 25 Online Resources for Financial Professionals.
The financial services industry, in particular the life insurance and annuity market segments, has been slow to adopt and take full advantage of the “connected” world. However, within the last four to five years a significant number of websites and blogs have appeared to fill the void. These sites vary greatly in their content and purpose but all serve to increase a financial professional's knowledge of his/her industry, aid the professional in his/her quest to provide outstanding service to his/her clients, and build his/her practice through viable and efficient marketing strategies.
As a leader in the adoption and implementation of digital and social media marketing, new media, and emerging technologies the Annuity Think Tank decided to compile a list of the Top 25 Online Resources for Financial Professionals with the help of their readers and viewers. Any "Top 25" list is subject to debate and should create discussion. The members of Annuity Think Tank encourage readers to provide feedback if there are sites or resources which were omitted. The driving purpose of list is for it to serve as a reference guide to available resources and as an aid to help financial professionals care for their clients and build successful practices.

Annuity Think Tank launches new Private Pension website


Private Pension.com, which was recently purchased by the Annuity Think Tank, was given a complete visual overhaul and relaunched this past week.

Annuity Think Tank, the #1 site for everything about annuities, announces the launch of the completely rebuilt and repurposed Private Pension website, also known as http://www.privatepension.com. The new site adds to the Annuity Think Tank's growing network of websites and will complement the Think Tank’s earlier purchase of PrivatePensionPlan.com.
As the amount of defined benefit pensions slowly become extinct among Fortune 500 companies, more stress than ever before has been placed on achieving lifetime income. Defined benefit pension plans played a crucial role ensuring retirees were able to live comfortably and never had to worry about running out of income.
This pension challenge leaves the beloved baby boomers scratching their heads for safe and secure ways to safeguard a lifetime income stream throughout retirement. As the 10,000 baby boomers hit 65 each day for the next decade, many will be faced with the realization they will run out of money without some contractual guarantees in place. The great news is that private pension plans are alive and well in American. In fact, over $32 billion in assets were placed in private pension plans last year alone. And no group seems to know everything about the private pension plans better than Annuity Think Tank. They have put together excellent pension videos, descriptions, and calculators for any consumer to get educated with.
As more retirees and baby boomers begin their research for lifetime income options, many will already be familiar with the private pension plan concept. That is why Annuity Think Tank made the strategic move to purchase both PrivatePension and PrivatePensionPlan.com.
