We wear many hats so being more specific about what you do is necessary right off the bat. Then, as someone else said, be personable but succinct and straightforward in the initial communications. Good luck.
What are you marketing? If you want to reach financial agents and planners, try connecting with them on LinkedIn or get involved with activities or institutions that they would be involved with. Finally, if you are adding value to what an agent is able to do, it sells itself, no? Figure out ways in which you can convey the value proposition.

Apart from LinkedIn as previously suggested seak out Associations and Conferences these folks attend and see if you can have a booth there or just simply attend and network. Be sure your elevator pitch talks about the "What's in it for them" and have hand-outs (CDs, brochures, samples) available that also speak to the benefits for them. Always remember, it's not about you but what you can do for them. Good luck.

The biggest piece is that this is a relationship business. Anyone who is looking at financial advice as a transaction will not be around for the long term. If you want to market to us, work to develop a relationship by providing value to us, as we would provide value to you.
Also know there's a difference in Financial Advisors and Financial Professional. I'm a Marketing Director, Financial Professional and Independent Contractor. What do my clients like? They like I'm non-captive. If you don't know the difference between captive and non-captive, learn soon. If you don't know what an Independent Contractor as it relates to being a Financial resource in a community, city or county, learn more about that too. Definitely learn some of the unique differences between Financial Professionals and Financial Advisors and Planners. We all do what we can for our clients, some can do more, other less depending on what they have access to, what their company's mission is and or based on what they're licensed to market or discuss legally. As many other professionals here have posted, forming good, lasting relationship is most certainly an important part. We get approached by people looking to everything accept paint our toes. Most want a network based on who we know and help. Ultimately, time is valuable so value ours as we value yours. Be genuine. Be upfront. Be authentic. Bring value to the table, it goes a long way.
Depending on what your end goal is, your approach should vary. But, at the end of the day, it's about value. If you can provide something that is valuable to your ideal clients, like a webinar, a free resource, or an informative blog post, you start to build trust. And if you can get an email address, then you can start building a more personalized and relationship-driven sales approach.
