LinkedIn Tip: Getting Financial Advisors Through Compliance
The adage, “ask forgiveness, not permission”, does not apply to the financial sector. Contact your compliance department to learn its social media protocol. However, use a collaborative approach to making requests; don’t ask, “Can I . . .?” but rather, “How can I . . .?” If your firm doesn’t have a written social networking usage document, get involved with creating one. Volunteer as a test case.
