Hello

Thanks for visiting my profile today. I'm the founder of IFA Life and a professional speaker and consultant on Internet / Social Media Marketing and Seminar Selling for IFAs and financial planners.

You'll hopefully have discovered that successful financial advisers use IFA Life to network, share best practice, debate industry issues, get marketing tips - and to provide help and support to one another

I speak at conferences and seminars worldwide on how to increase sales through online social networks. I help financial advisers to use social networking sites like IFA Life, Ecademy, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube, Xing, Twitter and others to win more business through more effective online communications.

For IFAs that means showing you how to attract more people to your website and then converting them into clients.

You can find out more when you join other IFAs and Providers who are signing up for Social Media in Financial Services 2 on 4th November 2010 - probably the most important conference the industry has ever seen on how the Internet will impact financial advisers and suppliers. Sign up at http://www.ifalife.com/socialmediaFS2

I also help IFAs to understand how to use the Internet more effectively in their businesses - either to add value to existing clients, or to attract new prospects. I offer full and half-day consultancy sessions for IFAs who are looking to clarify or develop their Internet strategy. Follow this link for more http://www.ifalife.com/IFAConsultancy

I'm also the author of 'Successful Seminar Selling', an acclaimed marketing book which helps businesses to communicate and sell through seminars. IFAs and Financial Planners regularly buy the book to help them plan, promote and present client seminars. See here to download your copy http://www.ifalife.com/SeminarBook

Again, I offer consultancy for IFA firms looking to develop their seminar strategy.

Another book which is popular with IFAs is 'Wake-Up Your Website! 101 Easy Ways for IFAs to Boost their Google and Search Engine Rankings'. Described as the ultimate guide for IFAs to raise their visibility on the Internet, this eBook is available as a PDF download from IFA Life here: http://www.ifalife.com/ebook

I'm available for press/media interviews on social networking and the story behind IFA Life. Telephone +44 (0)7773 359 619 or send email to philip@ifalife.com.


Clients say:

"Just wanted to say thanks for the talk last night - several people who haven't missed an event in 18 months have universally declared you to be the best speaker we've had so far. Your talk encouraged so much active networking afterwards that I had a hard job getting everyone to go home." Ann Hawkins - Inspirational Speakers

"I fully expect to look back in 5 years time and regard my first contact with Philip as a major milestone in my life. One week later and I have already gained an incredible amount of knowledge. Fantastic!" Chris Kelly, Hanson Wealth Management
