Interesting…I’ve been doing internet marketing for insurance agents for about a year now and have tested several social media methods.
Do you have any hard core proof of leads and policies written from agent’s using your Twitter system?
How do you reconcile for people who run into compliance issues with social media?

Hi Jason,
Thanks for the comment. To be clear, we don’t provide a “Twitter System” but rather a set of tools and best practices that allow agencies to approach it on their terms since not everyone will follow the exact same people or target the same industries. We help with content/media, but the “social” part is executed by the agency and most proof of success is anecdotal.
As far as compliance, we distribute legally binding social media policies that outline what social media can and cannot be used for in order to mitigate against compliance violations. Much of it is common sense when it comes to sharing personal information etc, but the best recommendation is to seek legal counsel if there’s ever a question. To date, we haven’t had clients run into compliance issues.
Best,
Nick Brown
