The Limra LOMA 2014 Social Media Conference for Financial Services once again had lots of great advice. One of the best things about this group of Twitter-savvy attendees is that they produce the best sound bites. In a way, each tweeter servers as a journalist covering the conference.
These tweets include great statistics and nuggets of advice that came from the #LLSMC conference hashtag:
