MPAF7 - Lynda Cox on Medical Professionals and Niche Product Development

This is the Podcast for providers and advisers looking to share business ideas and inspiration in the world of protection and finance.

In Episode 7 my guest is Lynda Cox.

Lynda heads up a company called Practice Cover which she founded in 2009. Prior to that Lynda was Head of Product Development at Skandia and her biggest claim to fame was heading up the team that launched Skandia Protect on an unsuspecting world.

Can you run a successful financial services business focussing on the needs of just one narrow customer niche?

You've already heard Pete Chadborn talk on this Podcast about his successful business model catering for the needs of all customers.

My guest today talks about how her business has been equally successful with its narrow niche focus. In this episode you can hear how she developed her focus on medical professionals and developed a modern product for that niche. Listen to how you might also share in her success.

What is the Marketing Finance and Protection (MPAF) Podcast?

The MPAF Podcast is a 30 minute audio show you download from http://rogeredwards.co.uk/mpaf, iTunes or Stitcher Radio. Each week I’ll be interviewing financial services providers, advisers, experts and journalists. Interviews to listen to in the car, on the train or on the treadmill.

I’ll be asking what we can do to make protection and finance more accessible to the consumer. We’ll talk about:

•    Marketing, communications and propositions.
•    Financial and protection products
•    Interesting business models and campaigns

as well discussing how advisers can promote their own businesses using modern content and social media methods.

My aim is to make sure that you will get one or two big business ideas that you can apply to you own business, whether it is a sales idea, advice idea, product tweak or simply an app that is worth looking at.

I’m your host, Roger Edwards. A Marketer for 25 years, ex-MD of Bright Grey and Scottish Provident, content and social media champion, I’m now in business to help your business.
