The roadmap to success for financial professionals using real-world examples, practical how-to's, and a structured approach to marketing strategy and tactics that covers the basics for beginners and inspires new ideas for marketing pros

The Financial Marketing Services Handbook, Second Edition gives sales and marketing practitioners the practical tools and best practices they need both to improve their job performance and their retail and institutional marketing strategies. The FSM Handbook guides marketing and sales professionals working in an industry characterized by cut-throat competition, client mistrust, transformative technologies, and ever-changing regulation, to understand the practical steps they must take to turn these threats into opportunities.

Providing invaluable information on how to target, win, and retain profitable customers, the book presents an overview of the basic marketing functions—segmentation, positioning, brand building, situational analyses, and tactical planning—as they relate specifically to the financial services industry. With up-to-date case studies, showing what has worked and, more tellingly, what hasn't, the book demonstrates how to effectively utilize the marketer's toolbox—from advertising and public relations to social media and mobile marketing.

• Discusses how social media (Twitter, Facebook, blogs, review sites) impact branding and sales
• Packed with new information on landing pages, email success factors, and smartphone apps
• Demonstrates how behavioral economics affect marketing strategy
• Case studies and charts are fully revised and updated

The financial industry is under intense pressure to improve profits, retain high-value clients, and maintain brand equity without straining budgets. The first edition has become an industry-standard reference book and The Financial Services Marketing Handbook, Second Edition gives sales and marketing professionals even more of the information they need to stretch value from each marketing dollar.

If you'd like to beef up your sales by as much as 100%, 200%, even 300% (or more)... using simple little emails you can type out in 15-20 minutes (or less), then here is how one of the world's top email marketers does it.

And why you can now do the same thing, too.

Believe it or not, it doesn’t matter if you’re a good "writer" or not, have ever written a word of sales copy in your life, or if you’re brand spanking new to email and confused about what to do.

The information in this eBook will:

(1) make writing your emails a lot easier (and even fun)... and
(2) make your emails far more persuasive and profitable, with your prospects literally "tuning in" (like they would their favorite radio show or TV program) to your emails whenever you pop up in their inbox.

Plus, unlike most email teachings, these secrets are NOT based on "theory" or on someone else's tests that only worked for them.

These secrets have all been extensively tested and used in the real world, by real people (even people who consider themselves "bad writers"), to make real sales and profits.

In fact, email marketing specialist Ben Settle routinely uses these secrets for not only his own business (where he sends daily emails to his list) but also for his million-dollar clients -- including one of the Internet's biggest marketing education and resource companies.

And don't worry, none of these 10 ways are rocket science.

Frankly, if you can write an email to a friend or family member, then you can use them for your auto-responders, one-shot emails, affiliate offers, regularly scheduled ezines, and any other kind of prospect or customer email communication.

But there's no time to lose on this.

Each day you are not using these simple email secrets, you are literally stealing money from yourself.

Your (the author) personality comes through your words; that of compassion, honesty, truth, and dignity through the words of someone who wants to share positivity, abundance, and happiness.” Mary Anne F., Leland, NC
