In this Advisor Talk episode, Brian Lutz and Sue Cheema break down one of the most overlooked advantages advisors have today: truly leveraging social CRM to listen, engage, and convert in a modern, data-driven world.

Drawing from real examples and decades spent navigating the evolution of social platforms, Brian and Sue explain how today’s conversations across LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, Reddit, and beyond can become powerful sources of insight – not just noise.
