Northwestern Mutual is working with a startup company to leverage social media for not just lead generation, but conversion as well. Amit Nanavati, vice president, digital products for Northwestern Mutual, explained how it works Monday during a session titled, Next Wave of Customer Engagement at LIMRA's virtual 2021 Distribution Conference for Financial Services. The startup, Socialeads, is developing a way to pull information from social networking websites to help financial representatives know when and how to make connections with clients. Northwestern Mutual is connecting it with LinkedIn, Facebook and its internal lead generation tool to see what it can produce, Nanavati said.
