"Focus on how to be social, not on how to do social." — Jay Baer

Most business owners agree that social media cannot be ignored; however, it's easy to get caught up in the metrics, algorithms, and strategies. Let's take a moment to remember the core essence of these platforms: being social.

Whether you're a business or an individual, the key to thriving on social media is genuine engagement.

Here are a few tips to help you be social:

- Connect Meaningfully: Reach out with authenticity. Comment, share, and like content that resonates with you genuinely.
- Start Conversations: Don’t just post for the sake of posting. Ask questions, seek opinions, and spark discussions that matter.
- Share Value: Provide content that educates, inspires, or entertains. Be the go-to source for your audience's needs.
- Be Human: Show your personality, share your stories, and let your audience see the real you behind the brand.

Let's shift our focus from just doing social to truly being social. After all, social media success is not just about the numbers — it's about building relationships and fostering a community.

"People don't buy what you do; they buy why you do it. And what you do simply proves what you believe." - Simon Sinek

In the realm of financial services, this quote by Simon Sinek is particularly powerful. It's a reminder that successful marketing isn't just about showcasing products or services; it's about conveying the underlying mission and values that drive your organization.

Here’s my take on how this applies to financial services marketing:

- Building Trust through Purpose: Financial decisions are deeply personal, and clients seek partners they can trust. By clearly communicating your company's purpose and values, you build a foundation of trust and credibility that resonates with clients on a deeper level.

- Engaging Stories: People are drawn to stories that align with their own beliefs and aspirations. Sharing authentic stories about your company's journey, its commitment to ethical practices, and its impact on the community can create strong emotional connections with your audience.

- Differentiation: In a crowded market, a strong "why" differentiates you from competitors. It gives clients a reason to choose your services over others because they believe in what you stand for.

- Customer Loyalty: When clients feel connected to your purpose, they're more likely to become loyal advocates for your brand. This loyalty translates into repeat business and referrals, which are invaluable in the financial sector.

- Driving Innovation: A clear purpose inspires innovation. When your team understands and believes in the company's mission, they're motivated to develop innovative solutions that further that mission and better serve your clients.

Simon Sinek's insight is a powerful reminder that in financial services marketing, it's not just about the numbers—it's about the story behind the numbers. Marketing is about telling good stories. Social media marketing is about getting your customers to tell them for you.

By embracing this philosophy, financial services companies can create meaningful connections with their audience, build trust, and drive long-term success.
