Columbus, Ohio — Today Nationwide Financial (NYSE:NFS) launched a new Web site, www.nationwide.com/rpsales to provide investment professionals with tools and resources they can use to help build their retirement plan business.
“Our industry moves at an incredibly fast pace and we’re always looking for ways to make it easier for investment professionals to work with us,” said Joe Frustaglio, national sales manager for Nationwide Retirement Plans. “There are no gimmicks or games on this site. We’ve created a resource where they can quickly access actionable sales ideas to help them better meet their clients’ needs and be more effective in the retirement plan business.”
The new Web site features:
- Sales ideas to help investment professionals use the power of the Pension Protection Act to enhance their business.
- Simple product packages, such as the new Retirement Innovator solution, Nationwide’s package for small businesses to offer quality retirement plans with fiduciary protection. A white-paper from ERISA consultant Fred Reish about the fiduciary benefits of this solution is also available on the site.
- Fiduciary tools that investment professionals can use with their clients to help them meet their fiduciary obligations.
For investment professionals who aren’t currently in the retirement plans business, the site explains how Nationwide can support them during every stage of the sales process and provides them with information to help them get started. The site will be regularly updated to offer new tools and sales ideas.
