  • (1888PressRelease) November 28, 2012 - BELMONT, Calif. - Actiance, helping organizations benefit from new forms of communications and collaboration, announced Sarah Carter, the company's GM of Social Business, will speak during the Compliance11 Regional User Conference. Presented as part of the compliance solutions from Charles Schwab, the event will discuss compliance, technology and social media to help attendees understand how to better address regulatory issues in 2013.

    By 2025, 46 percent of personal wealth in the US will be in the hands of Gen Y, a generation consistently connected to the Internet. With more than a billion users worldwide, Facebook's increasing penchant for adding 'life events' and making them prominent on user profiles provides financial advisors with a huge opportunity for building and maintaining business. In addition, the ability to communicate with prospects and clients across the hundreds of other social networks in lieu of traditional communications, such as email, introduces massive potential for both risk and reward.

    Carter will share real-life examples of how individuals and firms have won business, reduced customer churn and delivered on other benefits through the effective use of modern channels such as social media. She will also provide expert insight during a breakout panel discussion on ways to mitigate regulatory, brand and personal risk 'when social goes bad.'

    "Today's social enterprise involves more than just knowing that social media is important - it requires policies and education to ensure that its use is in line with regulatory guidelines. The financial services industry adds an additional layer of red tape to those communications but can easily be navigated with the right technology and education across all stakeholders.

    I'm looking forward to sharing what works and what doesn't to help attendees understand how to fully benefit from a successful social media program," said Carter.
