Hingham, MA - March 13, 2003
/PRNewswire/ -- Capital Fulfillment Group (CFG), a leading provider of marketing and fulfillment solutions to the financial services industry, announced today that Lincoln Financial Distributors, Inc. (LFD), headquartered in Philadelphia, PA, has entered into a new agreement for fulfillment services. Over the next several months, LFD will be transferring all of its marketing communications and sales support materials from across the Lincoln Financial Group enterprise into CFG's state-of-the-art fulfillment center located in Weymouth, MA.
"Lincoln Financial has long been recognized as an industry leader in meeting the investment needs of individuals and businesses," said Thomas Matson, Vice President of National Accounts at CFG. "We are excited about the opportunity to partner with a client who will not only leverage our existing expertise, but will continue to drive CFG in new technological directions, a practice that ultimately benefits all of our clients."
"This transition of fulfillment capabilities will have a significant impact on our ease of doing business and overall expense management," said David M. Kittredge, Vice President, Product Market Development/Communications, for LFD.
"CFG entered into this service sector with the belief that we could bring real value to financial fulfillment at a time when our competitors were commoditizing this critical part of the sales process," said Ric McConkey, President & CEO of Capital Fulfillment Group. "We continue to introduce new ideas and concepts that help our clients and distribution channels position their products in this difficult market environment. We have been positively received by the Financial Services Industry for taking a 'Top Down' approach to marketing fulfillment. For example, our new Marketing-On-Demand offering, 'JumpStart', targets the industry's wholesaler/top producer relationship and offers participants a way to differentiate themselves in today's crowded financial marketplace."
