Orlando, Fla. – May 19, 2012 – Richard Seppala, advertising and marketing ROI expert, was recently a featured expert on the TV show “The New American Dream.” The show was recently seen on Fox News Channel, CNBC, CNN and MSNBC as well as NBC, CBS, ABC and FOX network affiliates around the country.  “The New American Dream” was filmed in Washington, D.C.

“The New American Dream” features segments featuring some of the best business minds and marketing experts from around the world.  Richard was one of the recent guests, discussing his take on the show’s overall theme: how the old American dream has almost fizzled in every way, and how everything is different than when our parents or grandparents formulated their dreams. These experts explain how and what the new American dream looks like today for budding entrepreneurs and established businesspeople alike.

Richard Seppala is the developer of the groundbreaking marketing ROI system, The ROI Matrix.  The ROI Matrix goes beyond providing the usual response rate information, helping to increase your marketing ROI in a more substantial manner.  The ROI Matrix is built around the notion that just measuring the pure response rate doesn’t take you very in-depth with the numbers.  You can find out how many people reacted to your ad – but you still don’t know how many ended up as paying customers.  By only measuring the pure response rate, you’re still not answering the essential question that really has to be asked about any marketing – whether or not the marketing made your business any money.  Richard is also a co-author of the best-selling business books, Ignite Your Business Transform Your World and The Next Big Thing: Top Trends From Today’s Leading Experts to Help You Dominate the New Economy.

“The New American Dream” was produced by Nick Nanton, Esq. and JW Dicks, Esq., Co-Founders of America’s PremierExperts® and The Dicks and Nanton Celebrity Branding Agency®. One of the country’s leading expert organizations, “America’s PremierExperts®” also recently recognized Cindy Speaker and the other businesspeople featured on the show as “Ambassadors of the New American Dream.”

The life insurance industry has a standardized pricing system called the Commissioners Standard Ordinary Mortality Rates (CSO).  The most recent study was conducted in 2001.  Prior to this study, the last prices were calculated in 1980.

“Over this 20 year gap, the table represents a 30 percent reduction in policyholder cost,” said Brian Raleigh, Owner of TruWealth Strategies. “This reduction could be even higher depending on when your policy was put in place.”

Raleigh informs that while the study was done in 1980, the lower prices were not implemented until 1988. Policyholders that bought insurance during the lapsed time period may actually be paying an even higher rate.

“Bottom line, there are a lot of policies that are priced better in the market,” said Raleigh. “The best way to ensure against over paying or getting less than you’ve paid for is to get a life insurance policy review completed by a knowledgeable advisor.”

Ricks advises that annuities can be a great “safe money asset” to own.

“Banks sell them, brokerage house representatives sell them, the guy who insures your car can probably sell them, too,” said Gregory Ricks, Founder and CEO of Gregory Ricks & Associates.  “But the real question is, are annuities any good for you, your money and your retirement? And if they are good, who is qualified to find you the right one for your unique retirement planning situation?”

When consumers are considering an annuity, it is essential that they get complete disclosure in order to make an informed decision.

Variable annuities, lifetime immediate annuities and indexed annuities all have their pros and cons that may not be visible to the naked eye.

“Don’t buy into an offer that defies logic,” said Ricks. “A good safe money advisor will know how to ladder annuities and help you find the best option after carefully considering the benefits and costs to each one.”

About Jay Kinder and Michael Reese:

More than 10 years ago, Jay Kinder and Michael Reese inadvertently caught up with each other one summer afternoon at Lake Texoma. Real estate was the discussion of the day as a young Jay Kinder shared how he sold 233 homes the prior year to a very open-minded Michael Reese. Who knew that a chance encounter would turn into the wildly successful partnership that is now Kinder Reese Real Estate Partners?

Since that day, Michael, Jay and their teams have sold more than 4,250 homes combined. Together, they’ve brought in more than $18,000,000 in commissions for their real estate businesses and haven’t looked back since that fateful day.

Both Jay and Mike have been members of Realtor Magazine’s prestigious 30 under 30 group. They have also both been ranked within the top 100 of the 400 most successful real estate teams in North America by Real Trends of The Wall Street Journal.

Individually, Jay has established himself as one of the top agents in the world, selling more than 3,000 homes during that period while capturing 14% market share in Lawton, Oklahoma. In 2007, Jay was named #2 in the World for Coldwell Banker, competing with over 120,000 realtors – being the youngest to ever obtain this achievement. The results don’t stop there. In 2007, Jay was also ranked #1 in Oklahoma and #2 in the Southern Region including over 1,700 realtors from 14 states. He has been recognized with the honor of #1 Sales Associate in Oklahoma in 2002-2010 before opening his new company, Jay Kinder Real Estate Experts in 2011.
