Inter-Company Marketing Group meets LinkedIn!

What happens when the most dynamic insurance industry conference meets the leading business networking website? For starters, you get 34 new members in the first week. Not too shabby. Further proof that ICMG attendees understand the benefits of networking.

When Audrey Wittenburg added the ICMG as a group on LinkedIn she started with a question about how existing members are already using the online networking site. This shows the open-mindedness that makes ICMG members successful at creating strategic alliances that add value to their companies. Audrey recognized that LinkedIn is working to connect business professionals in meaningful ways in an online setting. Knowing the existing success of ICMG in making such connections in a conference setting, she recognized the natural alliance.

This alliance will be helpful to ICMG members both prior to and following the show in maximizing their planning and follow up with fellow members. Similarly, alliances forged at this year's ICMG conference will undoubtedly bring success in 2009 for the respective members and their companies. Whether you are a carrier seeking distribution or a distributor seeking products, if you have been to the ICMG before, you probably have a success story to share.

Additionally, service providers such as Disability Insurance Specialists provide the support for the development of new products or any related services that may not be present within the carrier, reinsurer or distribution source. For example, this year we will be co-marketing a new product along with our alliance partner, Vision Financial - Short Term Care Insurance built for the Worksite market.

To be the first to seize this opportunity or simply to tap into the wealth of other products and services provided by Disability Insurance Specialists, we would appreciate the opportunity to talk with you further. C'mon by booth #3 in the exhibit hall or drop a card behind the handsome photos of Tom Loftus, Bill Bossi or Tad Verney on the connection board and we'll be sure to track you down.

See you in sunny Florida!
